History  of  Illinois. 


"^  The  name  of  this  beautiful  Prairie  State  is  derived  from  lUim,  a 

Delaware  word  signifying  Superior  Men.  It  has  a  French  termination, 
and  is  a  symbol  of  how  the  two  races — the  French  and  the  Indians — 
were  intermixed  during  the  early  history  of  the  country. 

The  appellation  was  no  doubt  well  applied  to  the  primitive  inhabit- 
^ants  of  the  soil  whose  prowess  in  savage  warfare  long  withstood  the 
-^combined  attacks  of  the  fierce  Iroquois  on  the  one  side,  and  the  no  less 
(X>savage  and  relentless  Sacs  and  Foxes  on  the  other.  The  Illinois  were 
^"  once  a  powerful  confederacy,  occupying  the  most  beautiful  and  fertile 

-  region  in  the  great  Valley  of  the  Mississippi,  which  their  enemies  coveted 
^and  struggled  long  and  hard  to  wrest  from  them.  Bv  the  fortunes  of 
,war  they  were  diminished  in  numbers,  and  finally  destroyed.     "  Starved 

C^Rock,"  on  the  Illinois  River,  according  to  tradition,  commemorates  their 
~  last  tragedy,  where,  it  is  said,  the  entire  tribe  starved  rather  than  sur- 
render. 

^  EARLY   DISCOVERIES. 

■^         The  first  European  discoveries  in  Illinois  date  back  over  two  hun- 
dred years.     They  are  a  part  of  that  movement  which,  from  the  begin- 
ning to  the  middle   of   the  seventeenth   century,  brought  the  French 
Canadian  missionaries  and  fur  traders  into  the  Valley  of  the  Mississippi, 
■;fand   which,  at  a  later  period,   established  the    civil  and  ecclesiastical 
ithority  of  France  from  the  Gulf  of  St.  Lawrence  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico, 
d  from  the  foot-hills  of  the  Alleghanies  to  the  Rocky  Mountains. 
j.^         The  gre^t  river  of  the  West  had  been  discovered  by  DeSoto,  the 
■■panish  conqueror  of  Florida,  three  quarters  of  a  century  before  the 
!^  French  founded  Quebec  in  1608,  but  the  Spanish  left  the  country  a  wil- 
•'  derness,  without  further  exploration  or  settlement  within  its  borders,  in 
which  condition  it  remained  until  the  Mississippi  was  discovered  by  the 

-  agentsof  the  French  Canadian  government,  Jolietand  Marquette,  in  1673. 
^  These  renowned  explorers  were  not  the  first  white  visitors  to  Illinois. 

In  1671 — two  years  in  advance  of  them — came  Nicholas  Perrot  to  Chicago. 
He  had  been  sent  by  Talon  as  an  agent  of  the  Canadian  government  to

cull  a  great  peace  convention  of  Western  Indians  at  Green  Bay,  prepara- 
tory to  the  movement  for  the  discovery  of  the  Mississippi.  It  was 
deemed  a  good  stroke  of  policy  to  secure,  as  far  as  possible,  the  friend- 
ship and  co-operation  of  the  Indians,  far  and  near,  before  venturing  upon 
an  enterprise  which  their  hostility  might  render  disastrous,  and  which 
their  friendship  and  assistance  would  do  so  much  to  make  successful ; 
and  to  this  end  Perrot  was  sent  to  call  together  in  council  the  tribes 
throughout  the  Northwest,  and  to  promise  them  the  commerce  and  pro- 
tection of  the  French  government.  He  accordingly  arrived  at  Green 
Bay  in  1671,  and  procuring  an  escort  of  Pottawattamies,  proceeded  in  a 
bark  canoe  upon  a  visit  to  the  Miamis,  at  Chicago.  Perrot  was  there- 
fore the  first  European  to  set  foot  upon  the  soil  of  Illinois. 

Still  there  were  others  before  Marquette.  In  1672,  the  Jesuit  mis- 
sionaries, Fathers  Claude  Allouez  and  Claude  Dablon,  bore  the  standard 
of  the  Cross  from  their  mission  at  Green  Bay  through  western  Wisconsin 
and  northern  Illinois,  visiting  the  Foxes  on  Fox  River,  and  the  Masquo- 
tines  and  Kickapoos  at  the  mouth  of  the  Milwaukee.  These  missionaries 
penetrated  on  the  route  afterwards  followed  by  Marquette  as  far  as  the 
Kickapoo  village  at  the  head  of  Lake  Winnebago,  where  Marquette,  in 
his  journey,  secured  guides  across  the  portage  to  the  Wisconsin. 

The  oft-repeated  story  of  Marquette  and  Joliet  is  well  known. 
They  were  the  agents  employed  by  the  Canadian  government  to  discover 
the  Mississippi.  Marquette  was  a  native  of  France,  born  in  1637,  a 
Jesuit  priest  by  education,  and  a  man  of  simple  faith  and  of  great  zeal  and 
devotion  in  extending;  the  Roman  Catholic  reliarion  among-  the  Indians. 
Arriving  in  Canada  in  1666,  he  was  sent  as  a  missionary  to  the  far 
Northwest,  and,  in  1668,  founded  a  mission  at  Sault  Ste.  Marie.  The 
following  year  he  moved  to  La  Pointe,  in  Lake  Superior,  where  he 
instructed  a  branch  of  the  Hurons  till  1670,  when  he  removed  south,  and 
founded  the  mission  at  St.  Ignace,  on  the  Straits  of  Mackinaw.  Here 
he  remained,  devoting  a  portion  of  his  time  to  the  study  of  the  Illinois 
language  under  a  native  teacher  who  had  accompanied  him  to  the  mission 
from  La  Pointe,  till  he  was  joined  by  Joliet  in  the  Spring  of  1673.  By 
the  way  of  Green  Bay  and  the  Fox  and  Wisconsin  Rivers,  they  entered 
the  Mississippi,  which  they  explored  to  the  mouth  of  the  Arkansas,  and 
returned  by  the  way  of  tlie  Illinois  and  Chicago  Rivers  to  Lake. Michigan. 

On  his  way  up  the  Illinois,  Marquette  visited  the  great  village  of 
the  Kaskaskias,  near  what  is  now  Utica,  in  the  county  of  LaSalle.  The 
loUowing  year  he  returned  and  established  among  them  the  mission  of 
ihe  Immaculate  Virgin  Mary,  which  was  the  first  Jesuit  mission  founded 
in  Illinois  and  in  the  Mississippi  Valley.  The  intervening  winter  he 
had  spent  in  a  hut  which  his  com[)anions  erected  on  the  Chicago  River,  a 
few  leagues  from  its  mouth.     The  founding  of  this  mission  was  the  last

act  of  Marquette's  life.     He  died  in  Michigan,  on  his  way  back  to  Green 
Bay,  May  18,  1675. 

FIRST  FRENCH  OCCUPATION. 

The  first  French  occupation  of  the  territory  now  embraced  in  Illi- 
nois was  effected  by  LaSalle  in  1680,  seven  years  after  the  time  of  Mar- 
quette and  Joliet.  LaSalle,  having  constructed  a  vessel,  the  "  Griffin," 
above  the  falls  of  Niagara,  which  he  sailed  to  Green  Bay,  and  having 
passed  thence  in  canoes  to  the  mouth  of  the  St.  Joseph  River,  by  which 
and  the  Kankakee  he  reached  the  Illinois,  in  January,  1680,  erected  Fort 
Crevecoeur^  at  the  lower  end  of  Peoria  Lake,  where  the  city  of  Peoria  is 
now  situated.  The  place  where  this  ancient  fort  stood  may  still  be  seen 
just  below  the  outlet  of  Peoria  Lake.  It  was  destined,  however,  to  a 
temporary  existence.  From  this  point,  LaSalle  determined  to  descend 
the  Mississippi  to  its  mouth,  but  did  not  accomplish  this  purpose  till  two 
years  later — in  1682.  Returning  to  Fort  Frontenac  for  the  purpose  of 
getting  materials  with  which  to  rig  his  vessel,  he  left  the  fort  in  charge  of 
Touti,  his  lieutenant,  who  during  his  absence  was  driven  oif  by  the  Iro- 
quois Indians.  These  savages  had  made  a  raid  upon  the  settlement  of 
the  Illinois,  and  had  left  nothing  in  their  track  but  ruin  and  desolation. 
Mr.  Davidson,  in  his  History  of  Illinois,  gives  the  following  graphic 
account  of  the  picture  that  met  the  eyes  of  LaSalle  and  his  companions 
on  their  return  : 

"  At  the  great  town  of  the  Illinois  they  were  appalled  at  the  scene 
which  opened  to  their  view.  No  hunter  appeared  to  break  its  death-like 
silence  with  a  salutatory  whoop  ot  welcome.  The  plain  on  which  the 
town  had  stood  was  now  strewn  with  charred  fragments  of  lodges,  which 
had  so  recently  swarmed  with  savage  life  and  hilarity.  To  render  more 
hideous  the  picture  of  desolation,  large  numbers  af  skulls  had  been 
placed  on  the  upper  extremities  of  lodge-poles  which  had  escaped  the 
devouring  flames.  In  the  midst  of  these  horrors  was  the  rude  fort  of 
the  spoilers,  rendered  frightful  by  the  same  ghastly  relics.  A  near 
approach  showed  that  the  graves  had  been  robbed  of  their  bodies,  and 
swarms  of  buzzards  were  discovered  glutting  their  loathsome  stomachs 
on  the  reeking  corruption.  To  complete  the  work  of  destruction,  the 
growing  corn  of  the  village  had  been  cut  down  and  burned,  while  the 
pits  containing  the  products  of  previous  years,  had  been  rifled  and  their 
contents  scattered  with  wanton  waste.  It  was  evident  the  suspected 
blow  of  the  Iroquois  had  fallen  with  relentless  fury." 

Touti  had  escaped  LaSalle  knew  not  whither.  Passing  down  the 
lake  in  search  of  him  and  his  men,  LaSalle  discovered  that  the  fort  had 
been  destroyed,  but  the  vessel  which  he  had  partly  constructed  was  stiU 


16  HISTORY  OP  THE   STATE   OF   ILLINOIS. 

on  the  stocks  and  but  slightly  injured.  After  further  fruitless  search, 
failing  to  find  Touti,  he  fastened  to  a  tree  a  painting  representing  himself 
and  party  sitting  in  a  canoe  and  bearing  a  pipe  of  peace,  and  to  the  paint- 
ing attached  a  letter  addressed  to  Touti. 

Touti  liad  escaped,  and,  after  untold  privations,  taken  shelter  among 
the  Pottawattamies  near  Green  Bay.  These  were  friendly  to  the  French. 
One  of  their  old  chiefs  used  to  say,  "  There  were  but  three  great  cap- 
tains in  the  world,  himself,  Touti  and  LaSalle." 

GENIUS  OF  LaSALLE. 

We  must  now  return  to  LaSalle,  whose  exploits  stand  out  in  such 
bold  relief.  He  was  born  in  Rouen,  France,  in  1643.  His  father  was 
wealthy,  but  he  renounced  his  patrimony  on  entering  a  college  of  the 
Jesuits,  from  which  he  separated  and  came  to  Canada  a  poor  man  in  1666. 
The  priests  of  St.  Sulpice,  among  whom  he  had  a  brother,  were  then  the 
proprietors  of  Montreal,  the  nucleus  of  which  was  a  seminar}^  or  con- 
vent founded  by  that  order.  The  Superior  granted  to  LaSalle  a  large 
tract  of  land  at  LaChine,  where  he  established  himself  in  the  fur  trade. 
He  was  a  man  of  daring  genius,  and  outstripped  all  his  competitors  in 
exploits  of  travel  and  commerce  with  the  Indians.  In  1669,  he  visited 
the  headquarters  of  the  great  Iroquois  Confederacy,  at  Onondaga,  in  the 
heart  of  New  York,  and,  obtaining  guides,  explored  the  Ohio  River  to 
the  falls  at  Louisville. 

In  order  to  understand  the  genius  of  LaSalle,  it  must  be  remembered 
that  for  many  years  prior  to  his  time  the  missionaries  and  traders  were 
obliged  to  make  their  way  to  the  Northwest  by  the  Ottawa  River  (of 
Canada)  on  account  of  the  fierce  hostility  of  the  Iroquois  along  the  lower 
lakes  and  Niagara  River,  which  entirely  closed  this  latter  route  to  the 
Upper  Lakes.  They  carried  on  their  commerce  chiefly  b}^  canoes,  pad- 
dling them  through  the  Ottawa  to  Lake  Nipissing,  carrying  them  across 
the  portage  to  French  River,  and  descending  that  to  Lake  Huron.  This 
being  the  route  by  wliich  they  reached  the  Northwest,  accounts  for  the 
fact  that  all  the  earliest  Jesuit  missions  were  established  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  the  Upper  Lakes.  LaSalle  conceived  the  grand  idea  of  opening 
the  route  by  Niagara  River  and  the  Lower  Lakes  to  Canadian  commerce 
by  sail  vessels,  connecting  it  with  the  navigation  of  the  Mississippi,  and 
thus  opening  a  magnificent  water  communication  from  the  Gulf  of  St. 
Lawrence  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  This  truly  grand  and  comprehensive 
purpose  seems  to  have  animated  him  in  all  his  wonderful  achievements 
and  the  matchless  difficulties  and  hardships  he  surmounted.  As  the  first 
step  in  the  accomplishment  of  this  object  he  established  himself  on  Lake 
Ontario,  and  built  and  garrisoned  Fort  Frontenac,  the  site  of  the  present 


HISTORY  OF  THE  STATE  OF  ILLESTOIS.  17 

city  of  Kingston,  Canada.  Here  he  obtained  a  grant  of  land  from  the 
French  crown  and  a  body  of  troops  by  which  he  beat  back  the  invading 
Iroquois  and  cleared  the  passage  to  Niagara  Falls.  Having  by  this  mas- 
terly stroke  made  it  safe  to  attempt  a  hitherto  untried  expedition,  his 
next  step,  as  we  have  seen,  was  to  advance  to  the  Falls  with  all  his 
outfit  for  building  a  ship  with  which  to  sail  the  lakes.  He  was  success- 
ful in  this  undertaking,  though  his  ultimate  purpose  was  defeated  by  a 
strange  combination  of  untoward  circumstances.  Tlie  Jesuits  evidently 
hated  LaSalle  and  plotted  against  him,  because  he  had  abandoned  them 
and  co-operated  with  a  rival  order.  The  fur  traders  were  also  jealous  of 
his  superior  success  in  opening  new  channels  of  commerce.  At  LaChine 
he  had  taken  the  trade  of  Lake  Ontario,  which  but  for  his  presence  there 
would  have  gone  to  Quebec.  While  they  were  plodding  with  their  bark 
canoes  through  the  Ottawa  he  was  constructing  sailing  vessels  to  com- 
mand the  trade  of  the  lakes  and  the  Mississippi.  These  great  plans 
excited  the  jealousy  and  envy  of  the  small  traders,  introduced  treason  and 
revolt  into  the  ranks  of  his  own  companions,  and  finally  led  to  the  foul 
assassination  by  which  his  great  achievements  were  prematurely  ended. 

In  1682,  LaSalle,  having  completed  his  vessel  at  Peoria,  descended 
the  Mississippi  to  its  confluence  with  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  Erecting  a 
standard  on  which  he  inscribed  the  arms  of  France,  he  took  formal  pos- 
session of  the  whole  valley  of  the  mighty  river,  in  the  name  of  Louis 
XIV.,  then  reigning,  in  honor  of  whom  he  named  the  country  Louisiana. 

LaSalle  then  went  to  France,  was  appointed  Governor,  and  returned 
with  a  fleet  and  immigrants,  for  the  purpose  of  planting  a  colony  in  Illi- 
nois. They  arrived  in  due  time  in  the  Gulf  of  Mexico,  but  failing  to 
find  the  mouth  of  the  Mississippi,  up  which  LaSalle  intended  to  sail,  his 
supply  ship,  with  the  immigrants,  was  driven  ashore  and  wrecked  on 
Matagorda  Bay.  With  the  fragments  of  the  vessel  he  constructed  a 
stockade  and  rude  huts  on  the  shore  for  the  protection  of  the  immigrants, 
calling  the  post  Fort  St.  Louis.  He  then  made  a  trip  into  New  Mexico, 
in  search  of  silver  mines,  but,  meeting  with  disappointment,  returned  to 
find  his  little  colony  reduced  to  forty  souls.  He  then  resolved  to  travel 
on  foot  to  Illinois,  and,  starting  with  his  companions,  had  reached  the 
valley  of  the  Colorado,  near  the  mouth  of  Trinity  river,  when  he  was 
shot  by  one  of  his  men.     This  occurred  on  the  19th  of  March,  1687. 

Dr.  J.  W.  Foster  remarks  of  him  :  "  Thus  fell,  not  far  from  the  banks 
of  the  Trinity,  Robert  Cavalier  de  la  Salle,  one  of  the  grandest  charac- 
ters that  ever  figured  in  American  history — a  man  capable  of  originating 
the  vastest  schemes,  and  endowed  with  a  will  and  a  judgment  capable  of 
carrying  tliem  to  successful  results.  Had  ample  facilities  been  placed  by 
the  King  of  France  at  his  disposal,  the  result  of  the  colonization  of  this 
continent  might  have  been  far  different  from  what  we  now  behold."

18  HISTORY   OF   THE   STATE    OF    ILLINOIS. 


EARLY  SETTLEMENTS. 

A  temporary  settlement  was  made  at  Fort  St.  Louis,  or  the  old  Kas- 
kaskia  village,  on  the  IHinois  River,  in  what  is  now  LaSalle  County,  in 
1682.  In  1690,  this  was  removed,  with  the  mission  connected  with  it,  to 
Kaskaskia,  on  the  river  of  that  name,  emptjdng  into  the  lower  Mississippi 
in  St.  Clair  County.  Cahokia  was  settled  about  the  same  time,  or  at 
least,  both  of  these  settlements  began  in  the  year  1690,  though  it  is  now 
pretty  well  settled  that  Cahokia  is  the  older  place,  and  ranks  as  the  oldest 
permanent  settlement  in  Illinois,  as  well  as  in  the  Mississippi  Valley. 
The  reason  for  the  removal  of  the  old  Kaskaskia  settlement  and  mission, 
was  probably  because  the  dangerous  and  difficult  route  by  Lake  Michigan 
and  the  Chicago  portage  had  been  almost  abandoned,  and  travelers  and 
traders  passed  down  and  up  the  Mississippi  by  the  Fox  and  Wisconsin 
River  route.  They  removed  to  the  vicinity  of  the  Mississippi  in  order 
to  be  in  the  line  of  travel  from  Canada  to  Louisiana,  that  is,  the  lower 
part  of  it,  for  it  was  all  Louisiana  then  south  of  the  lakes. 

During  the  period  of  French  rule  in  Louisiana,  the  population  prob- 
ably never  exceeded  ten  thousand,  including  whites  and  blacks.  Within 
that  portion  of  it  now  included  in  Indiana,  trading  posts  were  established 
at  the  principal  Miami  villages  which  stood  on  the  head  waters  of  the 
Maumee,  the  Wea  villages  situated  at  Ouiatenon,  on  the  Wabash,  and 
the  Piankeshaw  villages  at  Post  Vincennes ;  all  of  which  were  probably 
visited  by  French  traders  and  missionaries  before  the  close  of  the  seven- 
teenth century. 

In  the  vast  territory  claimed  by  the  French,  many  settlements  of 
considerable  importance  had  sprung  up.  Biloxi,  on  Mobile  Bay,  had 
been  founded  ])y  DTberville,  in  1699 ;  Antoine  de  Lamotte  Cadillac  had 
founded  Detroit  in  1701 ;  and  New  Orleans  had  been  founded  by  Bien- 
ville, under  the  auspices  of  the  Mississippi  Company,  in  1718.  In  Illi- 
nois also,  considerable  settlements  had  been  made,  so  that  in  1730  they 
embraced  one  hundred  and  fortv  French  families,  about  six  hundred  "  con- 
verted  Indians,"  and  many  traders  and  voyageurs.  In  that  portion  of  the 
country,  on  the  east  side  of  the  Mississippi,  there  were  five  distinct  set- 
tlements, with  their  respective  villages,  viz.:  Cahokia,  near  the  mouth 
of  Cahokia  Creek  and  about  five  miles  below  the  present  city  of  St. 
Louis ;  St.  Philip,  about  forty-five  miles  below  Cahokia,  and  four  miles 
above  Fort  Chartres ;  Fort  Chartres,  twelve  miles  above  Kaskaskia  ; 
Kaskaskia,  situated  on  the  Kaskaskia  River,  five  miles  above  its  conflu- 
ence with  the  Mississippi ;  and  Prairie  du  Rocher,  near  Fort  Chartres. 
To  these  must  be  added  St.  Genevieve  and  St.  Louis,  on  the  west  side 
of  the  Mississijjpi.     These,  with  the  exception  of  St.  Louis,  are  among 


HISTORY   OF   THE   STATE   OF  ILLINOIS.  19 

the  oldest  French  towns  in  the  Mississippi  Valley.  Kaskaskia,  in  its  best 
days,  was  a  town  of  some  two  or  three  thousand  inhabitants.  After  it 
passed  from  the  crown  of  France  its  population  for  many  years  did  not 
exceed  fifteen  hundred.  Under  British  rule,  in  1773,  the  population  had 
decreased  to  four  hundred  and  fifty.  As  early  as  1721,  the  Jesuits  had 
established  a  college  and  a  monastery  in  Kaskaskia. 

Fort  Chartres  was  first  built  under  the  direction  of  the  Mississippi 
Company,  in  1718,  by  M.  de  Boisbraint,  a  military  officer,  under  command 
of  Bienville.  It  stood  on  the  east  bank  of  the  Mississippi,  about  eighteen 
miles  below  Kaskaskia,  and  was  for  some  time  the  headquarters  of  the 
military  commandants  of  the  district  of  Illinois. 

In  the  Centennial  Oration  of  Dr.  Fowler,  delivered  at  Philadelphia, 
by  appointment  of  Gov.  Beveridge,  we  find  some  interesting  facts  with 
regard  to  the  State  of  Illinois,  which  we  appropriate  in  this  history: 

In  1682  Illinois  became  a  possession  of  the  French  crown,  a  depend- 
ency of  Canada,  and  a  part  of  Louisiana.  In  1765  the  English  flag  was 
run  up  on  old  Fort  Chartres,  and  Illinois  was  counted  among  the  treas- 
ures of  Great  Britain. 

In  1779  it  was  taken  from  the  English  by  Col.  George  Rogers  Clark. 
This  man  was  resolute  in  nature,  wise  in  council,  prudent  in  policy,  bold 
in  action,  and  heroic  in  danger.  Few  men  who  have  figured  in  the  his- 
tory of  America  are  more  deserving  than  this  colonel.  Nothing  short  of 
first-class  ability  could  have  rescued  Vincens  and  all  Illinois  from  the 
English.  And  it  is  not  possible  to  over-estimate  the  influence  of  this 
achievement  upon  the  republic.  In  1779  Illinois  became  a  part  of  Vir- 
ginia. It  was  soon  known  as  Illinois  County.  In  1784  Virginia  ceded 
all  this  territory  to  the  general  government,  to  be  cut  into  States,  to  be 
republican  in  form,  with  '^  the  same  right  of  sovereignty,  freedom,  and 
independence  as  the  other  States." 

In  1787  it  was  the  object  of  the  wisest  and  ablest  legislation  found 
in  any  merely  human  records.     No  man  can  study  the  secret  history  of 

THE  "  COMPACT  OF  1787," 

and  not  feel  that  Providence  was  guiding  with  sleepless  eye  these  unborn 
States.  The  ordinance  that  on  July  13,  1787,  finally  became  the  incor- 
porating act,  has  a  most  marvelous  history.  Jefferson  had  vainly  tried 
to  secure  a  system  of  government  for  the  northwestern  territory.  He 
was  an  emancipationist  of  that  day,  and  favored  the  exclusion  of  slavery 
from  the  territory  Virginia  had  ceded  to  the  general  government;  but 
the  South  voted  him  down  as  often  as  it  came  up.  In  1787,  as  late  as 
July  10,  an  organizing  act  without  the  anti-slavery  clause  was  pending. 
This  concession  to  the  South  was  expected  to  carry  it.     Congress  was  in 


20  HISTORY   OF  THE   STATE   OF   ILLDSrOIS. 

session  in  New  York  City.  On  July  5,  Rev.  Dr.  Manasseh  Cutler,  o£ 
Massachusetts,  came  into  New  York  to  lobby  on  the  northwestern  terri- 
tory.    Everything  seemed  to  fall  into  his  hands.     Events  were  ripe. 

The  state  of  the  public  credit,  the  growing  of  Southern  prejudice, 
the  basis  of  his  mission,  his  personal  character,  all  combined  to  complete 
one  of  those  sudden  and  marvelous  revolutions  of  public  sentiment  that 
once  in  five  or  ten  centuries  are  seen  to  sweep  over  a  country  like  the 
breath  of  the  Almighty.  Cutler  was  a  graduate  of  Yale — received  his 
A.M.  from  Harvard,  and  his  D.D.  from  Yale.  He  had  studied  and  taken 
degrees  in  the  three  learned  professions,  medicine,  law,  and  divinity.  He 
had  thus  America's  best  indorsement.  He  had  published  a  scientific 
examination  of  the  plants  of  New  England.  His  name  stood  second  only 
to  that  of  Franklin  as  a  scientist  in  America.  He  was  a  courtly  gentle- 
man of  the  old  style,  a  man  of  commanding  presence,  and  of  inviting 
face.  The  Southern  members  said  they  had  never  seen  such  a  gentleman 
in  the  North.  He  came  representing  a  company  that  desired  to  purchase 
a  tract  of  land  now  included  in  Ohio,  for  the  purpose  of  planting  a  colony. 
It  was  a  speculation.  Government  money  was  worth  eighteen  cents  on 
the  dollar.  This  Massachusetts  company  had  collected  enough  to  pur- 
chase 1,500,000  acres  of  land.  Other  speculators  in  New  York  made 
Dr.  Cutler  their  agent  (lobbyist).  On  the  12th  he  represented  a  demand 
for  5,500,000  acres.  This  would  reduce  the  national  debt.  Jefferson 
and  Virginia  were  regarded  as  authority  concerning  the  land  Virginia 
had  just  ceded.  Jefferson's  policy  wanted  to  provide  for  the  public  credit, 
and  this  was  a  good  opportunity  to  do  something. 

Massachusetts  then  owned  the  territorv  of  Maine,  which  she  was 
crowding  on  the  market.  She  was  opposed  to  opening  the  northwestern 
region.  This  fired  the  zeal  of  Virginia.  The  South  caught  the  inspira- 
tion, and  all  exalted  Dr.  Cutler.  The  English  minister  invited  him  to 
dine  with  some  of  the  Southern  gentlemen.    He  was  the  center  of  interest. 

The  entire  South  rallied  round  him.  Massachusetts  could  not  vote 
against  him,  because  many  of  the  constituents  of  her  members  were 
interested  personally  in  the  western  speculation.  Thus  Cutler,  making 
friends  with  the  South,  and,  doubtless,  using  all  the  arts  of  the  lobby, 
was  enabled  to  command  the  situation.  True  to  deeper  convictions,  he 
dictated  one  of  the  most  compact  and  finished  documents  of  wise  states- 
manship that  has  ever  adorned  any  human  law  book.  He  borrowed  from 
Jefferson  the  terra  "  Articles  of  Compact,"  which,  preceding  the  federal 
constitution,  rose  into  the  most  sacred  character.  He  then  followed  very 
closely  the  constitution  of  Massachusetts,  adopted  three  years  before. 
Its  most  marked  points  were  : 

1.  The  exclusion  of  slavery  from  the  territory  forever. 

2.  Provision  for  public  schools,  giving  one  township  for  a  seminary, 


HISTORY   OF  THE   STATE  OF  ILLINOIS.  21 

and  every  section  numbered  16  in  each  township  ;  that  is,  one-thirty-sixth 
of  all  the  land,  for  public  schools. 

3.  A  provision  prohibiting  the  adoption  of  any  constitution  or  the 
enactment  of  any  laAV  that  should  nullify  pre-existing  contracts. 

Be  it  forever  remembered  that  this  compact  declared  that  "  Religion, 
morality,  and  knowledge  being  necessary  to  good  government  and  the 
happiness  of  mankind,  schools  and  the  means  of  education  shall  always 
be  encouraged." 

Dr.  Cutler  planted  himself  on  this  platform  and  would  not  yield. 
Giving  his  unqualified  declaration  that  it  was  that  or  nothing — that  unless 
the}'  could  make  the  land  desirable  they  did  not  want  it — he  took  his 
horse  and  buggy,  and  started  for  the  constitutional  convention  in  Phila- 
delphia. On  July  13,  1787,  the  bill  was  put  upon  its  passage,  and  was 
unanimously  adopted,  every  Southern  member  voting  for  it,  and  only  one 
man,  Mr.  Yates,  of  New  York,  voting  against  it.  But  as  the  States  voted 
as  States,  Yates  lost  his  vote,  and  the  compact  was  put  beyond  repeal. 

Thus  the  great  States  of  Ohio,  Indiana,  Illinois,  Michigan  and  Wis- 
consin— a  vast  empire,  the  heart  of  the  great  valley — were  consecrated 
to  freedom,  intelligence,  and  honesty.  Thus  the  great  heart  of  the  nation 
was  prepared  for  a  year  and  a  day  and  an  hour.  In  the  light  of  these  eighty- 
nine  years  I  affirm  that  this  act  was  the  salvation  of  the  republic  and  the 
destruction  of  slavery.  Soon  the  South  saw  their  great  blunder,  and 
tried  to  repeal  the  compact.  In  1803  Congress  referred  it  to  a  committee 
of  which  John  Randolph  was  chairman.  He  reported  that  this  ordinance 
was  a  compact,  and  opposed  repeal.  Thus  it  stood  a  rock,  in  the  way 
of  the  on-rushing  sea  of  slavery. 

With  all  this  timely  aid  it  was,  after  all,  a  most  desperate  and  pro- 
tracted struggle  to  keep  the  soil  of  Illinois  sacred  to  freedom.  It  was 
the  natural  battle-field  for  the  irrepressible  conflict.  In  the  southern  end 
of  the  State  slavery  preceded  the  compact.  It  existed  among  the  old 
French  settlers,  and  was  hard  to  eradicate.  The  southern  part  of  the 
State  was  settled  from  the  slave  States,  and  this  population  brought  their 
laws,  customs,  and  institutions  with  them.  A  stream  of  population  from 
the  North  poured  into  the  northern  part  of  the  State.  These  sections 
misunderstood  and  hated  each  other  perfectly.  The  Southerners  regarded 
the  Yankees  as  a  skinning,  tricky,  penurious  race  of  peddlers,  filling  the 
country  with  tinware,  brass  clocks,  and  wooden  nutmegs.  The  North- 
erner thought  of  the  Southerner  as  a  lean,  lank,  lazy  creature,  burrowing 
in  a  hut,  and  rioting  in  whisky,  dirt  and  ignorance.  These  causes  aided 
in  making  the  struggle  long  and  bitter.  So  strong  was  the  sympathy 
with  slavery  that,  in  spite  of  the  ordinance  of  1787,  and  in  spite  of  the 
deed  of  cession,  it  was  determined  to  allow  the  old  French  settlers  to 
retain  their  slaves.     Planters  from   the  slave   States  might  bring  their 


22  HISTORY   OF  THHR  STATE  OF  ILLINOIS. 

slaves,  if  they  would  give  them  a  chance  to  choose  freedom  or  years 
of  service  and  bondage  for  their  children  till  they  should  become 
thirty  years  of  age.  If  they  chose  freedom  they  must  leave  the  State 
in  sixt}^  days  or  be  sold  as  fugitives.  Servants  were  whipped  for  offenses 
for  which  white  men  are  fined.  Each  lash  paid  forty  cents  of  the  fine.  A 
neo-ro  ten  miles  from  home  without  a  pass  was  whipped.  These  famous 
laws  were  imported  from  the  slave  States  just  as  they  imported  laws  for 
the  inspection  of  flax  and  wool  when  there  was  neither  in  the  State. 

These  Black  Laws  are  now  wiped  out.  A  vigorous  effort  was  made 
to  protect  slavery  in  the  State  Constitution  of  1817.  It  barely  failed. 
It  was  renewed  in  1825,  when  a  convention  was  asked  to  make  a  new 
constitution.  After  a  hard  fight  the  convention  was  defeated.  But 
slaves  did  not  disappear  from  the  census  of  the  State  until  1850.  There 
were  mobs  and  murders  in  the  interest  of  slavery.  Lovejoy  was  added 
to  the  list  of  martyrs — a  sort  of  first-fruits  of  that  long  life  of  immortal 
heroes  who  saw  freedom  as  the  one  supreme  desire  of  their  souls,  and 
were  so  enamored  of  her  that  they  preferred  to  die  rather  than  survive  her. 

The  population  of  12,282  that  occupied  the  territory  in  A.D.  1800, 
increased  to  45,000  in  A.D.  1818,  when  the  State  Constitution  was 
adopted,  and  Illinois  took  her  place  in  the  Union,  with  a  star  on  the  flag 
and  two  votes  in  the  Senate. 

Shadrach  Bond  was  the  first  Governor,  and  in  his  first  message  he 
recommended  the  construction  of  the  Illinois  and  Michigan  Canal. 

The  simple  economy  in  those  days  is  seen  in  the  fact  that  the  entire 
bill  for  stationery  for  the  first  Legislature  was  onl}^  $13.50.  Yet  this 
simple  body  actually  enacted  a  very  superior  code. 

There  was  no  money  in  the  territory  before  the  war  of  1812.  Deer 
skins  and  coon  skins  were  the  circulating  medium.  In  1821,  the  Legis- 
lature ordained  a  State  Bank  on  the  credit  of  the  State.  It  issued  notes 
in  the  likeness  of  bank  bills.  These  notes  were  made  a  legal  tender  for 
every  thing,  and  the  bank  was  ordered  to  loan  to  the  people  $100  on  per- 
sonal security,  and  more  on  mortgages.  They  actually  passed  a  resolu- 
tion requesting  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  of  the  United  States  to 
receive  these  notes  for  land.     The  old  French  Lieutenant  Governor,  Col. 

Menard,  put  the  resolution  as  follows:  "'  Gentlemen  of  the  Senate  :  It  is 
moved  and  seconded  dat  de  notes  of  dis  hank  be  made  land-office  money. 

All  in  favor  of  dat  motion  say  aye  ;  all  against  it  say  no.  It  is  decided 
in  de  aflfirmative.  Now,  gentlemen,  I  bet  you  one  hundred  dollar  he 
never  be  land-office  money  ! "  Hard  sense,  like  hard  money,  is  always 
above  par. 

This  old  Frenchman  presents  a  fine  figure  up  against  the  dark  back- 
ground of  most  of  his  nation.  They  nuide  no  progress.  They  clung  to 
their  earliest  and  simplest  implements.     They  never  wore  hats  or  caps. 


HISTORY   OF   THE   STATE   OF  ILLINOIS.  23 

They  pulled  their  blankets  over  their  heads  in  the  winter  like  the  Indians, 
with  whom  they  freely  intermingled, 

Demag'ogism  had  an  early  development.  One  John  Grammar  (onlv 
in  name),  elected  to  the  Territorial  and  State  Legislatures  of  181G  and 
1836,  invented  the  policy  of  opposing  every  new  thing,  saying,  "  If  it 
succeeds,  no  one  will  ask  who  voted  against  it.  If  it  proves  a  failure,  he 
could  quote  its  record,"  In  sharp  contrast  with  Grammar  was  the  char- 
acter of  D.  P.  Cook,  after  whom  the  county  containing  Chicago  was 
named.  Such  was  his  transparent  integrity  and  remarkable  ability  that 
his  will  was  almost  the  law  of  the  State.  In  Congress,  a  young  man, 
and  from  a  poor  State,  he  was  made  Chairman  of  the  Ways  tind  Means 
Committee.  He  was  pre-eminent  for  standing  by  his  committee,  regard- 
less of  consequences.  It  was  his  integrity  that  elected  John  Quincy 
Adams  to  the  Presidency.  There  were  four  candidates  in  1824,  Jackson, 
Clay,  Crawford,  and  John  Quincy  Adams.  There  being  no  choice  by  the 
people,  the  election  was  thrown  into  the  House.  It  was  so  balanced  that 
it  turned  on  his  vote,  and  that  he  cast  for  Adams,  electing  him ;  then 
went  home  to  face  the  wrath  of  the  Jackson  party  in  Illinois.  It  cost 
liim  all  but  character  and  greatness.  It  is  a  suggestive  comment  on  the 
times,  that  there  was  no  legal  interest  till  1830.  It  often  reached  150 
per  cent.,  usually  50  per  cent.  Then  it  was  reduced  to  12,  and  now  to 
10  per  cent. 

PHYSICAL  FEATURES  OF  THE    PRAIRIE  STATE, 

In  area. the  State  has  55,410  square  miles  of  territor3^  It  is  about 
150  miles  wide  and  400  miles  long,  stretching  in  latitude  from  Maine  to 
North  Carolina.  It  embraces  wide  variety  of  climate.  It  is  tempered 
on  the  north  by  the  great  inland,  saltless,  tideless  sea,  which  keeps  the 
thermometer  from  either  extreme.  Being  a  table  land,  from  600  to  1,600 
feet  above  the  level  of  the  sea,  one  is  prepared  to  find  on  the  health 
maps,  prepared  by  the  general  government,  an  almost  clean  and  perfect 
record.  In  freedom  from  fever  and  malarial  diseases  and  consumptions, 
the  three  deadly  enemies  of  the  American  Saxon,  Illinois,  as  a  State, 
stands  without  a  superior.  She  furnishes  one  of  the  essential  conditions 
of  a  great  people — sound  bodies.  I  suspect  that  this  fact  lies  back  of. 
that  old  Delaware  word,  Illini,  superior  men. 

The  great  battles  of  history  that  have  been  determinative  of  dynas- 
ties and  destinies  have  been  strategical  battles,  chiefly  the  question  of 
position.  Thermopylae  has  been  the  war-cry  of  freemen  for  twenty -four 
centuries.  It  only  tells  how  much  there  may  be  in  position.  All  this 
advantage  belonos  to  Illinois.  It  is  in  the  heart  of  the  greatest  vallev  in 
the  world,  the  vast  region  between  the  mountains — a  valley  that  could 


24  HISTORY  OF  THE  STATE   OF   ILLENOIS. 

feed  mankind  for  one  thousand  years.  It  is  well  on  toward  the  center  of 
the  continent.  It  is  in  the  great  temperate  belt,  in  which  have  been 
found  nearly  all  the  aggressive  civilizations  of  history.  It  has  sixty-five 
miles  of  frontage  on  the  head  of  the  lake.  With  the  Mississippi  forming 
the  western  and  southern  boundarv,  with  the  Ohio  runninsr  alono^  the 
southeastern  line,  with  the  Illinois  River  and  Canal  dividing  the  State 
diagonally  from  the  lake  to  the  Lower  Mississippi,  and  with  the  Rock  and 
Wabash  Rivers  furnishing  altogether  2,000  miles  of  water-front,  con- 
necting with,  and  running  through,  in  all  about  12,000  miles  of  navi- 
gable water. 

But  this  is  not  all.  These  waters  are  made  most  available  by  the 
fact  that  the  lake  and  the  State  lie  on  the  ridge  running  into  the  great 
valley  from  the  east.  Within  cannon-shot  of  the  lake  the  water  runs 
away  from  the  lake  to  the  Gulf.  The  lake  now  empties  at  both  ends, 
one  into  the  Atlantic  and  one  into  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  The  lake  thus 
seems  to  hang  over  the  land.  This  makes  the  dockage  most  serviceable  ; 
there  are  no  steep  banks  to  damage  it.  Both  lake  and  river  are  made 
for  use. 

The  climate  varies  from  Portland  to  Richmond ;  it  favors  every  pro- 
duct of  the  continent,  including  the  tropics,  with  less  than  half  a  dozen 
exceptions.  It  produces  every  great  nutriment  of  the  world  except  ban- 
anas and  rice.  It  is  hardly  too  much  to  say  that  it  is  the  most  productive 
spot  known  to  civilization.  With  the  soil  full  of  bread  and  the  earth  full 
of  minerals ;  with  an  upper  .surface  of  food  and  an  under  layer  of  fuel ; 
with  perfect  natural  drainage,  and  abundant  springs  and  streams  and 
navigable  rivers  ;  half  way  between  the  forests  of  the  North  and  the  fruits 
of  the  South  ;  within  a  day's  ride  of  the  great  deposits  of  iron,  coal,  cop- 
per, lead,  and  zinc ;  containing  and  controlling  the  great  grain,  cattle, 
pork,  and  lumber  markets  of  the  world,  it  is  not  strange  that  Illinois  has 
the  advantage  of  position. 

This  advantage  has  been  supplemented  by  the  character  of  the  popu- 
lation. In  the  early  days  when  Illinois  was  first  admitted  to  the  Union, 
her  population  were  cliiefly  from  Kentucky  and  Virginia.  But,  in  the 
conflict  of  ideas  concerning  slavery,  a  strong  tide  of  emigration  came  in 
from  the  East,  and  soon  changed  this  composition.  In  1870  her  non- 
native  population  were  from  colder  soils.  New  York  furnished  133,290 ; 
Ohio  gave  102,623  ;  Pennsylvania  sent  on  98,352;  the  entire  South  gave 
us  only  206,734.  In  all  her  cities,  and  in  all  her  German  and  Scandina- 
vian and  other  foreign  colonies,  Illinois  has  only  about  one-fifth  of  her 
people  of  foreigji  birth. 


HISTORY  OF  THE  STATE  OF  ELLINOIS.  26 


PROGRESS  OF  DEVELOPMENT. 

One  of  the  greatest  elements  in  the  early  development  of  Illinois  is 
the  Illinois  and  Michigan  Canal,  connecting  the  Illinois  and  Mississippi 
Rivers  with  the  lakes.  It  was  of  the  utmost  importance  to  the  State. 
It  was  recommended  by  Gov.  Bond,  the  first  governor,  in  his  first  message. 
In  1821,  the  Legislature  appropriated  $10,000  for  surveying  the  route. 
Two  bright  young  engineers  surveyed  it,  and  estimated  the  cost  at 
1600,000  or  $700,000.  It  finally  cost  $8,000,000.  In  1825,  a  law  was 
passed  to  incorporate  the  Canal  Company,  but  no  stock  was  sold.  In 
1826,  upon  the  solicitation  of  Cook,  Congress  gave  800,000  acres  of  land 
on  the  line  of  the  work.  In  1828,  another  law — commissioners  appointed, 
and  work  commenced  with  new  survey  and  new  estimates.  In  1834-35, 
George  Farquhar  made  an  able  report  on  the  whole  matter.  This  was, 
doubtless,  the  ablest  report  ever  made  to  a  western  legislature,  and  it 
became  the  model  for  subsequent  reports  and  action.  From  this  the 
work  went  on  till  it  was  finished  in  1848.  It  cost  the  State  a  laro-e 
amount  of  money ;  but  it  gave  to  the  industries  of  the  State  an  impetus 
that  pushed  it  up  into  the  first  rank  of  greatness.  It  was  not  built  as  a 
speculation  any  more  than  a  doctor  is  employed  on  a  speculation.  But 
it  has  paid  into  the  Treasury  of  the  State  an  average  annual  net  sum  of 
over  $111,000. 

Pending  the  construction  of  the  canal,  the  land  and  town-lot  fever 
broke  out  in  the  State,  in  1834-35.  It  took  on  the  malignant  type  in 
Chicago,  lifting  the  town  up  into  a  city.  The  disease  spread  over  the 
entire  State  and  adjoining  States.  It  was  epidemic.  It  cut  up  men's 
farms  without  regard  to  locality,  and  cut  up  the  purses  of  the  purchasers 
without  regard  to  consequences.  It  is  estimated  that  building  lots  enough 
were  sold  in  Indiana  alone  to  accommodate  every  citizen  then  in  the 
United  States. 

Towns  and  cities  were  exported  to  the  Eastern  market  by  the  ship- 
load. There  was  no  lack  of  buyers.  Every  up-ship  came  freighted  with 
speculators  and  their  money. 

This  distemper  seized  upon  the  Legislature  in  1836-37,  and  left  not 
one  to  tell  the  tale.  They  enacted  a  system  of  internal  improvement 
without  a  parallel  in  the  grandeur  of  its  conception.  They  ordered  the 
construction  of  1,300  miles  of  railroad,  crossing  the  State  in  all  direc- 
tions. This  was  surpassed  by  the  river  and  canal  improvements. 
There  were  a  few  counties  not  touched  by  either  railroad  or  river  or 
canal,  and  those  were  to  be  comforted  and  compensated  by  the  free  dis- 
tril)ution  of  $200,000  among  them.  To  inflate  this  ])alloon  beyond  cre- 
dence it  was  ordered  that  work  should  be  commenced  on  both  ends  of 


26  HISTORY   OF   THE   STATE   OF   ILLINOIS. 

each  of  these  railroads  and  rivers,  and  at  each  river-crossing,  all  at  the 
same  time.  The  appropriations  for  these  vast  improvements  were  over 
'$12,000,000,  and  commissioners  were  appointed  to  borrow  the  money  on 
the  credit  of  the  State.  Remember  that  all  this  was  in  the  early  days  of 
railroading,  when  railroads  were  luxuries ;  that  the  State  had  whole 
counties  with  scarcely  a  cabin ;  and  that  the  population  of  the  State  was 
less  than  400,000,  and  you  can  form  some  idea  of  the  vigor  with  which 
these  brave  men  undertook  the  work  of  making  a  great  State.  In  the 
light  of  history  I  am  compelled  to  say  that  this  was  only  a  premature 
throb  of  the  power  that  actually  slumbered  in  the  soil  of  the  State.  It 
was  Hercules  in  the  cradle. 

At  this  juncture  the  State  Bank  loaned  its  funds  largely  to  Godfrey 
Gilman  &  Co.,  and  to  other  leading  houses,  for  the  purpose  of  drawing 
trade  from  St.  Louis  to  Alton.  Soon  they  failed,  and  took  down  the 
bank  with  them. 

In  1840,  all  hope  seemed  gone.  A  population  of  480,000  were  loaded 
with  a  debt  of  $14,000,000.  It  had  only  six  small  cities,  really  only- 
towns,  namely :  Chicago,  Alton,  Springfield,  Quincy,  Galena,  Nauvoo. 
This  debt  was  to  be  cared  for  when  there  was  not  a  dollar  in  the  treas- 
ury, and  when  the  State  had  borrowed  itself  out  of  all  credit,  and  when 
there  was  not  good  money  enough  in  the  hands  of  all  the  people  to  pay 
the  interest  of  the  debt  for  a  single  year.  Yet,  in  the  presence  of  all 
these  difficulties,  the  young  State  steadily  refused  to  repudiate.  Gov. 
Ford  took  hold  of  the  problem  and  solved  it,  bringing  the  State  through 
in  triumph. 

Having  touched  lightly  upon  some  of  the  more  distinctive  points  in 
the  history  of  the  development  of  Illinois,  let  us  next  briefly  consider  the 

MATERIAL  RESOURCES  OF  THE  STATE. 

It  is  a  garden  four  hundred  miles  long  and  one  hundred  and  fifty 
miles  wide.  Its  soil  is  chiefly  a  black  sandy  loam,  from  six  inches  to 
sixty  feet  thick.  On  the  American  bottoms  it  has  been  cultivated  for 
one  hundred  and  fifty  years  without  renewal.  About  the  old  French 
towns  it  has  yielded  corn  for  a  century  and  a  half  without  rest  or  help. 
It  produces  nearly  everything  green  in  the  temperate  and  tropical  "zones. 
She  leads  all  other  States  in  the  number  of  acres  actually  under  plow. 
Her  products  from  25,000,000  of  acres  are  incalculable.  Her  mineral 
wealth  is  scarcely  second  to  her  agricultural  power.  She  has  coal,  iron, 
lead,  copper,  zinc,  many  varieties  of  building  stone,  fire  clay,  cuma  clay, 
common  brick  clay,  sand  of  all  kinds,  gravel,  mineral  paint — every  thing 
needed  for  a  higli  civilization.  Left  to  lierself,  she  has  the  elements  of 
all  greatness.     The  single  item  of  coal  is  too  vast  for  an  appreciative 


HISTORY  OF  THE   STATE   OF  ILLINOIS.  27 

handling  in  figures.  We  can  handle  it  in  general  terms  like  algebraical 
signs,  but  long  before  we  get  up  into  the  millions  and  i)illions  the  human 
mind  drops  down  from  comprehension  to  mere  symbolic  apprehension. 

When  I  tell  you  that  nearly  four-fifths  of  the  entire  State  is  under- 
laid with  a  deposit  of  coal  more  than  forty  feet  thick  on  the  average  (now 
estimated,  by  recent  surveys,  at  seventy  feet  thick),  you  can  get  some 
idea  of  its  amount,  as  you  do  of  the  amount  of  the  national  debt.  There 
it  is !  41,000  square  miles — one  vast  mine  into  which  you  could  put 
any  of  the  States  ;  in  which  you  could  bury  scores  of  European  and 
ancient  empires,  and  have  room  enough  all  round  to  work  without  know- 
ing that  they  had  been  sepulchered  there. 

Put  this  vast  coal-bed  down  by  the  other  great  coal  deposits  of  the 
world,  and  its  importance  becomes  manifest.  Great  Britain  has  12,000 
square  miles  of  coal;  Spain,  3,000;  France,  1,719  ;  Belgium,  578  ;  Illinois 
about  twice  as  many  square  miles  as  all  combined.  Virginia  has  20,000 
square  miles ;  Pennsylvania,  16,000 ;  Ohio,  12,000.  Illinois  has  41,000 
square  miles.  One-seventh  of  all  the  known  coal  on  this  continent  is  in 
Illinois. 

Could  we  sell  the  coal  in  this  single  State  for  one-seventh  of  one  cent 
a  ton  it  would  pay  the  national  debt.  Converted  into  power,  even  with 
the  wastage  in  our  common  engines,  it  would  do  more  work  than  could 
be  done  by  the  entire  race,  beginning  at  Adam's  wedding  and  working 
ten  hours  a  day  through  all  the  centuries  till  the  present  time,  and  right 
on  into  the  future  at  the  same  rate  for  the  next  600,000  years. 

Great  Britain  uses  enough  mechanical  power  to-day  to  give  to  each 
man,  woman,  and  child  in  the  kingdom  the  help  and  service  of  nineteen 
untiring  servants.  No  wonder  she  has  leisure  and  luxuries.  No  wonder 
the  home  of  the  common  artisan  has  in  it  more  luxuries  than  could  be 
found  in  the  palace  of  good  old  King  Arthur.  Think,  if  you  can  conceive 
of  it,  of  the  vast  army  of  servants  that  slumber  in  the  soil  of  Illinois, 
impatiently  awaiting  the  call  of  Genius  to  come  forth  to  minister  to  our 
comfort. 

At  the  present  rate  of  consumption  England's  coal  supply  will  be 
exhausted  in  250  years.  When  this  is  gone  she  must  transfer  her  dominion 
either  to  the  Indies,  or  to  British  America,  which  I  would  not  resist ;  or 
to  some  other  people,  which  I  would  regret  as  a  loss  to  civilization. 

COAL  IS   KING. 

At  the  same  rate  of  consumption  (which  far  exceeds  our  own)  the 
deposit  of  coal  in  Illinois  will  last  120,000  years.  And  her  kingdom  shall 
be  an  everlasting  kingdom. 

Let  us  turn  now  from  this  reserve  power  to  the  annwxl  producta  of 


28  HISTORY   OF  THE   STATE   OF   ILLINOIS. 

the  State.  We  shall  not  be  humiliated  in  this  field.  Here  we  strike  the 
secret  of  our  national  credit.  Nature  provides  a  market  in  the  constant 
appetite  of  the  race.  Men  must  eat,  and  if  we  can  furnish  the  provisions 
we  can  command  the  treasure.  All  that  a  man  hath  will  he  give  for  his 
hfe. 

According-  to  the  last  census  Illinois  produced  30,000,000  of  bushels- 
of  wheat.  That  is  more  wheat  than  was  raised  by  any  other  State  in  the 
Union.  She  raised  last  year  130,000,000  of  bushels  of  corn — twice  as 
much  as  any  other  State,  and  one-sixth  of  all  the  corn  raised  in  the  United 
States.  She  harvested  2,747,000  tons  of  hay,  nearly  one-tenth  of  all  the 
hay  in  the  Republic.  It  is  not  generally  appreciated,  but  it  is  true,  that 
the  ha}'^  crop  of  the  country  is  worth  more  than  the  cotton  crop.  The 
hay  of  Illinois  equals  the  cotton  of  Louisiana.  Go  to  Charleston,  S.  C, 
and  see  them  peddling  handfuls  of  hay  or  grass,  almost  as  a  curiosity, 
as  we  regard  Chinese  gods  or  the  cryolite  of  Greenland ;  drink  your 
coffee  and  condensed  milk ;  and  walk  back  from  the  coast  for  many  a 
league  through  the  sand  and  burs  till  you  get  up  into  the  better  atmos- 
phere of  tlie  mountains,  without  seeing  a  waving  meadow  or  a  grazing 
herd ;  then  you  will  begin  to  appreciate  the  meadows  of  the  Prairie  State, 
where  the  grass  often  grows  sixteen  feet  high. 

The  value  of  her  farm  implements  is  $211,000,000,  and  the  value  of 
her  live  stock  is  only  second  to  the  great  State  of  New  York.  Last  year 
she  had  25,000,000  hogs,  and  packed  2,113,845,  about  one-half  of  all  that 
were  packed  in  the  United  States.  This  is  no  insignificant  item.  Pork 
is  a  growing  demand  of  the  old  world.  Since  the  laborers  of  Europe 
have  gotten  a  taste  of  our  bacon,  and  we  have  learned  how  to  pack  it  dry 
in  boxes,  like  dry  goods,  the  world  has  become  the  market. 

The  hog  is  on  the  march  into  the  future.  His  nose  is  ordained  to 
uncover  the  secrets  of  dominion,  and  his  feet  shall  be  guided  by  the  star 
of  empire. 

Illinois  marketed  $57,000,000  worth  of  slaughtered  animals — more 
than  any  other  State,  and  a  seventh  of  all  the  States. 

Be  patient  with  me,  and  pardon  my  pride,  and  I  will  give  you  a  list 
of  some  of  the  things  in  which  Illinois  excels  all  other  States. 

Depth  and  richness  of  soil ;  per  cent,  of  good  ground  ;  acres  of 
improved  land ;  large  farms — some  farms  contain  from  40,000  to  60,000 
acres  of  cultivated  land,  40,000  acres  of  corn  on  a  single  farm  ;  number  of 
farmers  ;  amount  of  wheat,  corn,  oats  and  honey  produced  ;  value  of  ani- 
mals for  slaughter ;  number  of  hogs  ;  amount  of  pork  ;  number  of  horses 
— three  times  as  many  as  Kentucky,  the  horse  State. 

Illinois  excels  all  other  States  in  miles  of  railroads  and  in  miles  of 
postal  service,  and  in  money  orders  sold  per  annum,  and  in  the  amount  of 
lumber  sold  in  her  markets. 


HISTORY   OF   THE   STATE   OP   ILLINOIS.  29 

Illinois  is  only  second  in  many  important  matters.  This  sample  list 
comprises  a  few  of  the  more  important :  Permanent  school  fund  (good 
for  a  young  state)  ;  total  income  for  educational  purposes  ;  number  of  pub- 
lishers of  books,  maps,  papers,  etc.;  value  of  farm  products  and  imple- 
ments, and  of  live  stock  ;  in  tons  of  coal  mined. 

The  shipping  of  Illinois  is  only  second  to  New  York.  Out  of  one 
port  during  the  business  hours  of  the  season  of  navigation  she  sends  forth 
a  vessel  every  ten  minutes.  This  does  not  include  canal  boats,  which  go 
one  every  five  minutes.  No  wonder  she  is  only  second  in  number  of 
bankers  and  brokers  or  in  physicians  and  surgeons. 

She  is  third  in  colleges,  teachers  and  schools ;  cattle,  lead,  hay, 
flax,  sorghum  and  beeswax. 

She  is  fourth  in  population,  in  children  enrolled  in  public  schools,  in 
law  schools,  in  butter,  potatoes  and  carriages. 

She  is  fifth  in  value  of  real  and  personal  property,  in  theological 
seminaries  and  colleges  exclusively  for  women,  in  milk  sold,  and  in  boots 
and  shoes  manufactured,  and  in  book-binding. 

She  is  only  seventh  in  the  production  of  wood,  while  she  is  the 
twelfth  in  area.  Surely  that  is  well  done  for  the  Prairie  State.  She  now 
has  much  more  wood  and  growing   timber  than  she  had  thirty  years  ago. 

A  few  leading  industries  will  justify  emphasis.  She  manufactures 
$205,000,000  worth  of  goods,  which  places  her  well  up  toward  New  York 
and  Pennsylvania.  The  number  of  her  manufacturing  establishments 
increased  from  1860  to  1870,  300  per  cent.;  capital  employed  increased  350 
per  cent,,  and  the  amount  of  product  increased  400  per  cent.  She  issued 
5,500,000  copies  of  commercial  and  financial  newspapers — only  second  to 
New  York.  She  has  6,759  miles  of  railroad,  thus  leading  all  other  States, 
worth  $636,458, 000,  using  3,245  engines,  and  67,712  cars,  making  a  train 
Ions  enouoh  to  cover  one-tenth  of  the  entire  roads  of  the  State.  Her 
stations  are  only  five  miles  apart.  She  carried  last  year  15,795,000  passen- 
gers, an  average  of  36^^  miles,  or  equal  to  taking  her  entire  population  twice 
across  the  State.  More  than  two-thu-ds  of  her  land  is  within  five  miles  of 
a  railroad,  and  less  than  two  per  cent,  is  more  than  fifteen  miles  away. 

The  State  has  a  large  financial  interest  in  the  Illinois  Central  railroad. 
The  road  was  incorporated  in  1850,  and  the  State  gave  each  alternate  sec- 
tion for  six  miles  on  each  side,  and  doubled  the  price  of  the  remaining 
land,  so  keeping  herself  good.  The  road  received  2,595,000  acres  of  land, 
and  pays  to  the  State  one-seventh  of  the  gross  receipts.  The  State 
receives  this  year  $350,000,  and  has  received  in  all  about  $7,000,000.  It 
is  practically  the  people's  road,  and  it  has  a  most  able  and  gentlemanly 
management.  Add  to  this  the  annual  receipts  from  the  canal,  $111,000, 
and  a  large  per  cent,  of  the  State  tax  is  provided  for. 


30  mSTOKY   OF  THE  STATE   OF  ILLINOIS. 


THE   RELIGION  AND  MORALS 

of  the  State  keep  step  with  her  productions  and  growth.  She  was  born 
of  the  missionary  spirit.  It  was  a  minister  who  secured  for  her  the  ordi- 
nance of  1787,  by  which  she  has  been  saved  from  slavery,  ignorance,  and 
dishonesty.  Rev.  Mr.  Wiley,  pastor  of  a  Scotch  congregation  in  Randolph 
County,  petitioned  the  Constitutional  Convention  of  1818  to  recognize 
Jesus  Christ  as  king,  and  the  Scriptures  as  the  only  necessary  guide  and 
book  of  law.  The  convention  did  not  act  in  the  case,  and  the  old  Cove- 
nanters refused  to  accept  citizenship.  They  never  voted  until  1824,  when 
the  slavery  question  was  submitted  to  the  people ;  then  they  all  voted 
against  it  and  cast  the  determining  votes.  Conscience  has  predominated 
whenever  a  great  moral  question  has  been  submitted  to  the  people. 

But  little  mob  violence  has  ever  been  felt  in  the  State.  In  1817 
regulators  disposed  of  a  band  of  horse-thieves  that  infested  the  territory. 
The  Mormon  indignities  finally  awoke  the  same  spirit.  Alton  was  also 
the  scene  of  a  pro-slavery  mob,  in  which  Lovejoy  was  added  to  the  list  of 
martyrs.  The  moral  sense  of  the  people  makes  the  law  supreme,  and  gives 
to  the  State  unruffled  peace. 

With  $22,300,000  in  church  property,  and  4,298  church  organizations, 
the  State  has  that  divine  police,  the  sleepless  patrol  of  moral  ideas,  that 
alone  is  able  to  secure  perfect  safety.  Conscience  takes  the  knife  from 
the  assassin's  hand  and  the  bludgeon  from  the  grasp  of  the  highwayman. 
We  sleep  in  safety,  not  because  we  are  behind  bolts  and  bars — these  only 
fence  against  the  innocent ;  not  because  a  lone  officer  drowses  on  a  distant 
corner  of  a  street ;  not  because  a  sheriff  may  call  his  posse  from  a  remote 
part  of  the  county ;  but  because  conscience  guards  the  very  portals  of  the 
air  and  stirs  in  the  deepest  recesses  of  the  public  mind.  This  spirit  issues 
within  the  State  9,500,000  copies  of  religious  papers  annually,  and  receives 
still  more  from  withowt.  Thus  the  crime  of  the  State  is  only  one-fourth 
that  of  New  York  and  one-half  that  of  Pennsylvania. 

Illinois  never  had  but  one  duel  between  her  own  citizens.  In  Belle- 
ville, in  1820,  Alphonso  Stewart  and  William  Bennett  arranged  to  vindi- 
cate injured  honor.  The  seconds  agreed  to  make  it  a  sham,  and  make 
them  shoot  blanks.  Stewart  was  in  the  secret.  Bennett  mistrusted  some- 
thing, and,  unobserved,  slipped  a  bullet  into  his  gun  and  killed  Stewart. 
He  then  fled  the  State.  After  two  years  he  was  caught,  tried,  convicted, 
and,  in  spite  of  friends  and  political  aid,  was  hung.  This  fixed  the  code 
of  honor  on  a  Christian  basis,  and  terminated  its  use  in  Illinois. 

The  early  preachers  were  ignorant  men,  who  were  accounted  eloquent 
according  to  the  strength  of  their  voices.  But  they  set  the  style  for  all 
public  speakers.   Lawyers  and  political  speakers  followed  this  rule.    Gov. 


HISTORY  OF  THE   STATE  OF  ILLINOIS.  SI 

Ford  says:  "Nevertheless,  these  first  preachers  were  of  incalculable 
benefit  to  the  country.  They  inculcated  justice  and  morality.  To  them 
are  we  indebted  for  the  first  Christian  character  of  the  Protestant  portion 
of  the  people." 

In  education  Illinois  surpasses  her  material  resources.  The  ordinance 
of  1787  consecrated  one  thirty-sixth  of  her  soil  to  common  schools,  and 
the  law  of  1818,  the  first  law  that  went  upon  her  statutes,  gave  three  per 
cent,  of  all  the  rest  to 

EDUCATION  INSTEAD  OF  HIGHWAYS. 

The  old  compact  secures  this  interest  forever,  and  by  its  yoking 
morality  and  intelligence  it  precludes  the  legal  interference  with  the  Bible 
in  the  public  schools.  With  such  a  start  it  is  natural  that  we  should  have 
11,050  schools,  and  that  our  illiteracy  should  be  less  than  New  York  or 
Pennsylvania,  and  only  about  one-half  of  Massachusetts.  We  are  not  to 
blame  for  not  having  more  than  one-half  as  many  idiots  as  the  great 
States.  These  public  schools  soon  made  colleges  inevitable.  The  first 
college,  still  flourishing,  was  started  in  Lebanon  in  1828,  by  the  M.  E. 
church,  and  named  after  Bishop  McKendree.  Illinois  College,  at  Jackson- 
ville, supported  by  the  Presbyterians,  followed  in  1830.  In  1832  the  Bap- 
tists built  Shurtleff  College,  at  Alton.  Then  the  Presbyterians  built  Knox 
College,  at  Galesburg,  in  1838,  and  the  Episcopalians  built  Jubilee  College, 
at  Peoria,  in  1847.  After  these  early  years  colleges  have  rained  down. 
A  settler  could  hardly  encamp  on  the  prairie  but  a  college  would  spring 
up  by  his  wagon.  The  State  now  has  one  very  well  endowed  and  equipped 
university,  namely,  the  Northwestern  University,  at  Evanston,  with  six 
colleges,  ninety  instructors,  over  1,000  students,  and  $1,500,000  endow- 
ment. 

Rev.  J.  M.  Peck  was  the  first  educated  Protestant  minister  in  tne 
State.  He  settled  at  Rock  Spring,  in  St.  Clair  County,  1820,  and  left  his 
impress  on  the  State.  Before  1837  only  party  papers  were  published,  but 
Mr.  Peck  published  a  Gazetteer  of  Illinois.  Soon  after  John  Russell,  of 
BluflFdale,  published  essays  and  tales  showing  genius.  Judge  James  Hall 
published'  The  Illinois  Monthly  Magazine  with  great  ability,  and  an  annual 
called  The  Western  Souvenir^  which  gave  him  an  enviable  fame  all  over  the 
United  States.  From  these  beginnings  Illinois  has  gone  on  till  she  has 
more  volumes  in  public  libaaries  even  than  Massachusetts,  and  of  the 
44,500,000  volumes  in  all  the  public  libraries  of  the  United  States,  she 
has  one-thirteenth.  In  newspapers  she  stands  fourth.  Her  increase  is 
marvelous.  In  1850  she  issued  5,000,000  copies;  in  1860,  27,590,000  ;  in 
1870,  113,140,000.  In  1860  she  had  eighteen  colleges  and  seminaries ;  in 
1870  she  had  eighty.     That  is  a  grand  advance  for  the  war  decade. 

This  brings  us  to  a  record  unsurpassed  in  the  history  of  any  age, 


32  HISTORY   OF  THE  STATE  OF  ILLINOIS. 


THE  WAR    RECORD  OF  ILLINOIS. 

I  hardly  know  where  to  begin,  or  how  to  advance,  or  what  to  say.  I 
can  at  best  give  you  only  a  broken  synopsis  of  her  deeds,  and  you  must 
put  Them  in  the  order  of  glory  for  yourself.  Her  sons  have  always  been 
foremost  on  fields  of  danger.  In  1832-33,  at  the  call  of  Gov.  Reynolds, 
her  sons  drove  Blackhawk  over  the  Mississippi. 

When  the  Mexican  war  came,  in  May,  1846,  8,370  men  offered  them- 
selves when  only  3,720  could  be  accepted.  The  fields  of  Buena  Vista  and 
Vera  Cruz,  and  the  storming  of  Cerro  Gordo,  will  carry  the  glory  of  Illinois 
soldiers  along  after  the  infamy  of  the  cause  they  served  has  been  forgotten. 
But  it  was  reserved  till  our  day  for  her  sons  to  £nd  a  field  and  cause  and 
foemen  that  could  fitly  illustrate  their  spirit  and  heroism.  Illinois  put 
into  her  own  regiments  for  the  United  States  government  256,000  men, 
and  into  the  armv  through  other  States  enough  to  swell  the  number  to 
290,000.  This  far  exceeds  all  the  soldiers  of'  the  federal  government  in 
all  the  war  of  the  revolution.  Her  total  years  of  service  were  over  600,000. 
She  enrolled  men  from  eighteen  to  fort}" -five  years  of  age  when  the  law 
of  Congress  in  1861 — the  test  time — only  asked  for  those  from  twenty  to 
forty-five.  Her  enrollment  was  otherwise  excessive.  Her  people  wanted 
to  go,  and  did  not  take  the  pains  to  correct  the  enrollment.  Thus  the 
basis  of  fixing  the  quota  was  too  great,  and  then  the  quota  itself,  at  least 
in  the  trying  time,  was  far  above  any  other  State. 

Thus  the  demand  on  some  counties,  as  Monroe,  for  example,  took  every 
able-bodied  man  in  the  county,  and  then  did  not  have  enough  to  fill  the 
quota.  Moreover,  Illinois  sent  20,814  men  for  ninety  or  one  hundred  days, 
for  whom  no  credit  was  asked.  When  Mr.  Lincoln's  attention  was  called 
to  the  inequality  of  the  quota  compared  with  other  States,  he  replied, 
"  The  country  needs  the  sacrifice.  We  must  put  the  whip  on  the  free 
horse."'  In  spite  of  all  these  disadvantages  Illinois  gave  to  the  country 
73,000  y'ears  of  service  above  all  calls.  With  one-thirteenth  of  the  popu- 
lation of  the  loyal  States,  she  sent  regularly  one-tenth  of  all  the  soldiers, 
and  in  the  peril  of  the  closing  calls,  when  patriots  were  few  and  weary, 
she  then  sent  one-eighth  of  all  that  were  called  for  by  her  loved  and  hon- 
ored son  in  the  white  house.  Her  mothers  and  daughters  went  into  the 
fields  to  raise  the  grain  and  keep  the  children  together,  while  the  fathers 
and  older  sons  went  to  the  harvest  fields  of  the  world.  I  knew  a  father 
and  four  sons  who  agreed  that  one  of  them  must  stay  at  home ;  and  they 
pulled  straws  from  a  stack  to  see  who  might  go.  The  father  was  left. 
The  next  day  he  came  into  the  camp,  saying  :  "  Mother  says  she  can  get 
the  crops  in,  and  I  am  going,  too."  I  know  large  Methodist  churches 
from  which  every  male  member  went  to  the  army.    Do  you  want  to  know 


HISTORY   OF  THE  STATE   OF   ILLINOIS.  33 

what  these  heroes  from  Illinois  did  in  the  field  ?  Ask  any  soldier  with  a 
good  record  of  his  own,  who  is  thus  able  to  judge,  and  he  will  tell  you 
that  the  Illinois  men  went  in  to  win.  It  is  common  history  that  the  greater 
victories  were  won  in  the  West.  When  everything ^else  looked  dark  Illi- 
nois was  gaining  victories  all  down  the  river,  and  dividing  the  confederacy. 
Sherman  took  with  him  on  his  great  march  forty-five  regiments  of  Illinois 
infantry,  three  companies  of  artillery,  and  one  company  of  cavahy.  He 
could  not  avoid 

GOING  TO  THE  SEA. 

If  he  had  been  killed,  I  doubt  not  the  men  would  have  gone  right  on. 
Lincoln  answered  all  rumors  of  Sherman's  defeat  with,  "  It  is  impossible  ; 
there  is  a  mighty  sight  of  fight  in  100,000  Western  men."  Illinois  soldiers 
brought  home  300  battle-flags.  The  first  United  States  flag  that  floated 
over  Richmond  was  an  Illinois  flag.  She  sent  messengers  and  nurses  to 
ever}'-  field  and  hospital,  to  care  for  her  sick  and  wounded  sons.  She  said, 
'■  These  suffering  ones  are  my  sons,  and  I  will  care  for  them." 

When  individuals  had  given  all,  then  cities  and  town's  came  forward 
with  their  credit  to  the  extent  of  many  millions,  to  aid  these  men  and 
their  families. 

Illinois  gave  the  country  the  great  general  of  the  war — Ulysses  S. 
Grant — since  honored  with  two  terms  of  the  Presidency  of  the  United 
States. 

One  other  name  from  Illinois  comes  up  in  all  minds,  embalmed  in  all 
hearts,  that  must  have  the  supreme  place  in  this  story  of  our  glory  and 
of  our  nation's  honor  ;  that  name  is  Abraham  Lincoln,  of  Illinois. 

The  analysis  of  Mr.  Lincoln's  character  is  diflicult  on  account  of  its 
symmetry. 

In  this  age  we  look  with  admiration  at  his  uncompromising  honesty. 
And  well  we  may,  for  this  saved  us.  Thousands  throughout  the  length 
and  breadth  of  our  country  who  knew  him  only  as  "  Honest  Old  Abe," 
voted  for  him  on  that  account ;  and  wisely  did  they  choose,  for  no  other 
man  could  have  carried  us  through  the  fearful  night  of  the  war.  When 
his  plans  were  too  vast  for  our  comprehension,  and  his  faith  in  the  cause 
too  sublime  for  our  participation ;  Avhen  it  was  all  night  about  us,  and  all 
dread  before  us,  and  all  sad  and  desolate  behind  us ;  when  not  one  ray 
shone  upon  our  cause ;  when  traitors  were  haughty  and  exultant  at  the 
South,  and  fierce  and  blasphemous  at  the  North  ;  when  the  loyal  men  here 
seemed  almost  in  the  minority  ;  when  the  stoutest  heart  quailed,  the  bravest 
cheek  paled  ;  when  generals  were  defeating  each  other  for  place,  and 
contractors  were  leeching  out  the  very  heart's  blood  of  the  prostrate 
republic :  when  every  thing  else  had  failed  us,  we  looked  at  this  calm, 
patient  man  standing  like  a  rock  in  the  storm,  and  said  :     "  Mr.  Lincoln 


34  HISTORY  OF   THE   STATE  OF   ILLINGIS. 

is  honest,  and  we  can  trust  him  still."  Holding  to  this  single  point  with 
the  energy  of  faith  and  despair  we  held  .together,  and,  under  God,  he 
brought  us  through  to  victory. 

His  practical  wisdom  made  him  the  wonder  of  all  lands.  With  such 
certainty  did  Mr.  Lincoln  follow  causes  to  their  ultimate  effects,  that  his 
foresight  of  contingencies  seemed  almost  prophetic. 

He  is  radiant  with  all  the  great  virtues,  and  his  memory  shall  shed  a 
glory  upon  this  age  that  shall  fill  the  eyes  of  men  as  they  look  into  his- 
tory. Other  men  have  excelled  him  in  some  point,  but,  taken  at  all 
points,  all  in  all,  he  stands  head  and  shoulders  above  every  other  man  of 
6,000  years.  An  administrator,  he  saved  the  nation  in  the  perils  of 
unparalleled  civil  war.  A  statesman,  he  justified  his  measures  by  their 
success.  A  philanthropist,  he  gave  liberty  to  one  race  and  salvation  to 
another.  A  moralist,  he  bowed  from  the  summit  of  human  power  to  the 
foot  of  the  Cross,  and  became  a  Christian.  A  mediator,  he  exercised  mercy 
under  the  most  absolute  abeyance  to  law.  A  leader,  he  was  no  partisan. 
A  commander,  he  was  untainted  with  blood.  A  ruler  in  desperate  times, 
he  was  unsullied  with  crime.  A  man,  he  has  left  no  word  of  passion,  no 
thought  of  malice,  no  trick  of  craft,  no  act  of  jealousy,  no  purpose  of 
selfish  ambition.  Thus  perfected,  without  a  model,  and  without  a  peer, 
he  was  dropped  into  these  troubled  years  to  adorn  and  embellish  all  that 
is  good  and  all  that  is  great  in  our  humanity,  and  to  present  to  all  coming 
time  the  representative  of  the  divine  idea  of  free  government. 

It  is  not  too  much  to  say  that  away  down  in  the  future,  when  the 
republic  has  fallen  from  its  niche  in  the  wall  of  time  ;  when  the  great 
war  itself  shall  have  faded  out  in  the  distance  like  a  mist  on  the  horizon ; 
when  the  Anglo-Saxon  language  shall  be  spoken  only  by  the  tongue  of 
the  stranger ;  then  the  generations  looking  this  way  shall  see  the  great 
president  as  the  supreme  figure  in  this  vortex  of  history 

CHICAGO. 

It  is  impossible  in  our  brief  space  to  give  more  than  a  meager  sketch 
of  such  a  city  as  Chicago,  which  is  in  itself  the  greatest  marvel  of  the 
Prairie  State.  This  mysterious,  majestic,  mighty  city,  born  first  of  water, 
and  next  of  fire;  sown  in  weakness,  and  raised  in  power ;  planted  among 
the  willows  of  the  marsh,  and  crowned  with  the  glory  of  the  mountains  ; 
sleeping  on  the  bosom  of  the  prairie,  and  rocked  on  the  bosom  of  the  sea  ; 
the  youngest  city  of  the  world,  and  still  the  eye  of  the  prairie,  as  Damas- 
cus, the  oldest  city  of  the  world,  is  the  eye  of  the  desert.  With  a  com- 
merce far  exceeding  that  of  Corinth  on  her  isthmus,  in  the  highway  to 
the  East ;  with  the  defenses  of  a  continent  piled  around  her  by  the  thou- 
sand miles,  making  her  far  safer  than  Rome  on  the  banks  of  the  Tiber ; 


HISTORY  OF   THE   STATE   OF  ILLINOIS.  35 

with  schools  eclipsing  Alexandria  and  Athens ;  with  liberties  more  con- 
spicuous than  those  of  the  old,  republics  ;  with  a  heroism  equal  to  the  first 
Carthage,  and  with  a  sanctity  scarcel}'  second  to  that  of  Jerusalem — set 
your  thoughts  on  all  this,  lifted  into  the  eyes  of  all  men  by  the  miracle  of 
its  growth,  illuminated  by  the  flame  of  its  fall,  and  transfigured  by  the 
divinity  of  its  resurrection,  and  you  will  feel,  as  I  do,  the  utter  impossi- 
bility of  compassing  this  subject  as  it  deserves.  Some  impression  of  her 
importance  is  received  from  the  shock  her  burning  gave  to  the  civilized 
world. 

When  the  doubt  of  her  calamity  was  removed,  and  the  horrid  fact 
was  accepted,  there  went  a  shudder  over  all  cities,  and  a  quiver  over  all 
lands.  There  was  scarcely  a  town  in  the  civilized  world  that  did  not 
shake  on  the  brink  of  this  opening  chasm.  The  flames  of  our  homes  red- 
dened all  skies.  The  city  was  set  upon  a  hill,  and  could  not  be  hid.  All 
eyes  were  turned  upon  it.  To  have  struggled  and  suffered  amid  the 
scenes  of  its  fall  is  as  distinguishing  as  to  have  fought  at  Thermopylae,  or 
Salamis,  or  Hastings,  or  Waterloo,  or  Bunker  Hill. 

Its  calamity  amazed  the  world,  because  it  was  felt  to  be  the  common 
property  of  mankind. 

The  early  history  of  the  city  is  full  of  interest,  just  as  the  early  his- 
tory of  such  a  man  as  Washington  or  Lincoln  becomes  public  property, 
and  is  cherished  by  every  patriot. 

Starting  with  560  acres  in  1833,  it  embraced  and  occupied  23,000 
acres  in  1869,  and,  having  now  a  population  of  more  than  500,000,  it  com- 
mands general  attention. 

The  first  settler — Jean  Baptiste  Pointe  au  Sable,  a  mulatto  from  the 
West  Indies — came  and  began  trade  with  the  Indians  in  1796.  John 
Kinzie  became  his  successor  in  1804,  in  which  year  Fort  Dearborn  was 
erected. 

A  mere  trading-post  was  kept  here  from  that  time  till  about  the  time 
of  the  Blackhawk  war,  in  1832.  It  was  not  the  city.  It  was  merel}^  a 
cock  crowing  at  midnight.  The  morning  was  not  yet.  In  1833  the  set- 
tlement about  the  fort  was  incorporated  as  a  town.  The  voters  were 
divided  on  the  propriety  of  such  corporation,  twelve  voting  for  it  and  one 
against  it.  Four  years  later  it  was  incorporated  as  a  city,  and  embraced 
660  acres. 

The  produce  handled  in  this  city  is  an  indication  of  its  power.  Grain 
and  flour  were  imported  from  the  East  till  as  late  as  1837.  The  first 
exportation  by  way  of  experiment  was  in  1839.  Exports  exceeded  imports 
first  in  1842.  The  Board  of  Trade  was  organized  in  1848,  but  it  was  so 
weak  that  it  needed  nursing  till  1855.  Grain  was  purchased  by  the 
wagon-load  in  the  street. 

I  remember  sitting  with  my  father  on  a  load  of  wheat,  in  the  long 


36  HISTORY   OF  THE  STATE   OP   ILLINOIS. 

line  of  wagons  along  Lake  street,  while  the  buyers  came  and  untied  the 
bags,  and  examined  the  grain,  and  made  their  bids.  That  manner  of 
business  had  to  cease  with  the  day  of  small  things.  Now  our  elevators 
will  hold  15,000,000  bushels  of  grain.  The  cash  value  of  the  produce 
handled  in  a  year  is  8215,000,000,  and  the  produce  weighs  7,000,000 
tons  or  700,000  car  loads.  This  handles  thirteen  and  a  half  ton  each 
minute,  all  the  year  round.  One  tenth  of  all  the  wheat  in  the  United 
States  is  handled  in  Chicago.  Even  as  long  ago  as  1853  the  receipts  of 
grain  in  Chicago  exceeded  those  of  the  goodly  city  of  St.  Louis,  and  in 
1854  the  exjjorts  of  grain  from  Chicago  exceeded  those  of  New  York  and 
doubled  those  of  St.  Petersburg,  Archangel,  or  Odessa,  the  largest  grain 
markets  in  Europe. 

The  manufacturing  interests  of  the  city  are  not  contemptible.  In 
1873  manufactories  employed  45,000  operatives ;  in  1876,  60,000.  The 
manufactured  product  in  1875  was  worth  $177,000,000. 

No  estimate  of  the  size  and  power  of  Chicago  would  be  adequate 
that  did  not  put  large  emphasis  on  the  railroads.  Before  they  came 
thundering  along  our  streets  canals  were  the  hope  of  our  country.  But 
who  ever  thinks  now  of  traveling  by  canal  packets  ?  In  June,  1852, 
there  were  only  forty  miles  of  railroad  connected  with  the  city.  The 
old  Galena  division  of  the  Northwestern  ran  out  to  Elgin.  But  now, 
who  can  count  the  trains  and  measure  the  roads  that  seek  a  terminus  or 
connection  in  this  city  ?  The  lake  stretches  away  to  the  north,  gathering 
in  to  this  center  all  the  harvests  that  might  otherwise  pass  to  the  north 
of  us.  If  you  will  take  a  map  and  look  at  the  adjustment  of  railroads, 
you  will  see,  first,  that  Chicago  is  the  great  railroad  center  of  the  world, 
as  New  York  is  the  commercial  city  of  this  continent ;  and,  second,  that 
the  railroad  lines  form  the  iron  spokes  of  a  great  wheel  whose  hub  is 
this  cit3\  The  lake  furnishes  the  only  break  in  the  spokes,  and  this 
seems  simply  to  have  pushed  a  few  spokes  together  on  each  shore.  See 
the  eighteen  trunk  lines,  exclusive  of  eastern  connections. 

Pass  round  the  circle,  and  view  their  numbers  and  extent.  There 
is  the  great  Northwestern,  with  all  its  branches,  one  branch  creeping 
along  the  lake  shore,  and  so  reaching  to  the  north,  into  the  Lake  Superior 
regions,  away  to  the  right,  and  on  to  the  Northern  Pacific  on  the  left, 
swinging  around  Green  Bay  for  iron  and  copper  and  silver,  twelve  months 
in  the  year,  and  reaching  out  for  the  wealth  of  the  great  agricultural 
belt  and  isothermal  line  traversed  by  the  Northern  Pacific.  Another 
branch,  not  so  far  north,  feeling  for  the  heart  of  the  Badger  State. 
Another  pushing  lower  down  the  Mississippi — all  these  make  many  con- 
nections, and  tapping  all  the  vast  wheat  regions  of  Minnesota,  Wisconsin, 
Iowa,  and  all  the  regions  this  side  of  sunset.  There  is  that  elegant  road, 
the  Chicago,  Burlington   &  Quincy,  running  out  a  goodly  number  of 


HISTORY  OF  THE   STATE   OF  ILLINOIS.  87 

branches,  and  reaping  the  great  fields  this  side  of  the  Missouri  River. 
I  can  only  mention  the  Chicago,  Alton  &  St.  Louis,  our  Illinois  Central, 
described  elsewhere,  and  the  Chicago  &  Rock  Island.  Further  around 
we  come  to  the  lines  connecting  us  with  all  the  eastern  cities.  The 
Chicago,  Indianapolis  &  St.  Louis,  the  Pittsburgh,  Fort  Wayne  & 
Chicago,  the  Lake  Shore  &  Michigan  Southern,  and  the  Michigan  Cen- 
tral and  Great  Western,  give  us  many  highways  to  the  seaboard.  Thus  we 
reach  the  Mississippi  at  five  points,  from  St.  Paul  to  Cairo  and  the  Gulf 
itself  by  two  routes.  We  also  reach  Cincinnati  and  Baltimore,  and  Pitts- 
burgh and  Philadelphia,  and  New  York.  North  and  south  run  the  water 
courses  of  the  lakes  and  the  rivers,  broken  just  enough  at  this  point  to 
make  a  pass.  Through  this,  from  east  to  west,  run  the  long  lines  that 
stretch  from  ocean  to  ocean. 

This  is  the  neck  of  the  glass,  and  the  golden  sands  of  commerce 
must  pass  into  our  hands.  Altogether  we  have  more  than  10,000  miles 
of  railroad,  directl}^  tributary  to  this  city,  seeking  to  unload  their  wealth 
in  our  coffers.  All  these  roads  have  come  themselves  by  the  infallible 
instinct  of  capital.  Not  a  dollar  was  ever  given  by  the  city  to  secure 
one  of  them,  and  only  a  small  per  cent,  of  stock  taken  originally  by  her 
citizens,  and  that  taken  simply  as  an  investment.  Coming  in  the  natural 
order  of  events,  they  will  not  be  easily  diverted.    . 

There  is  still  another  showing  to  all  this.  The  connection  between 
New  York  and  San  Francisco  is  by  the  middle  route.  This  passes  inevit- 
ablv  through  Chicago.  St.  Louis  wants  the  Southern  Pacific  or  Kansas 
Pacific,  and  pushes  it  out  through  Denver,  and  so  on  up  to  Cheyenne. 
But  before  the  road  is  fairly  under  way,  the  Chicago  roads  shove  out  to 
Kansas  City,  making  even  the  Kansas  Pacific  a  feeder,  and  actually  leav- 
ing St.  Louis  out  in  the  cold.  It  is  not  too  much  to  expect  that  Dakota, 
Montana,  and  Washington  Territory  will  find  their  great  market  in  Chi- 
cago. 

But  these  are  not  all.  Perhaps  I  had  better  notice  here  the  ten  or 
fifteen  new  roads  that  have  just  entered,  or  are  just  entering,  our  city. 
Their  names  are  all  that  is  necessary  to  give.  Chicago  &  St.  Paul,  look- 
ing up  the  Red  River  country  to  the  British  possessions  ;  the  Chicago, 
Atlantic  &  Pacific ;  the  Chicago,  Decatur  &  State  Line ;  the  Baltimore  & 
Ohio;  the  Chicago,  Danville  &  Vincennes;  the  Chicago  &  LaSalle  Rail- 
road ;  the  Chicago,  Pittsburgh  &  Cincinnati ;  the  Chicago  and  Canada 
Southern ;  the  Chicago  and  Illinois  River  Railroad.  These,  with  their 
connections,  and  with  the  new  connections  of  the  old  roads,  already  in 
process  of  erection,  give  to  Chicago  not  less  than  10,000  miles  of  new 
tributaries  from  the  richest  land  on  the  continent.  Thus  there  will  be 
added  to  the  reserve  power,  to  the  capital  within  reach  of  this  city,  not 
less  than  $1,000,000,000. 


38  HISTORY  OF   THE   STATE  OF   ILLINOIS. 

Add  to  all  this  transporting  power  the  ships  that  sail  one  every  nine 
minutes  of  the  business  hours  of  the  season  of  navigation ;  add,  also,  the 
canal  boats  that  leave  one  every  five  minutes  during  the  same  time — and 
you  will  see  something  of  the  business  of  the  city. 

THE  COMMERCE  OF  THIS  CITY 

has  been  leaping  along  to  keep  pace  with  the  growth  of  the  country 
around  us.  In  1852,  our  commerce  reached  the  hopeful  sum  of 
120,000,000.  In  1870  it  reached  1100,000,000.  In  1871  it  was  pushed 
up  above  $450,000,000.     And  in  1875  it  touched  nearly  double  that. 

One-half  of  our  imported  goods  come  directly  to  Chicago.  Grain 
enough  is  exported  directly  from  our  docks  to  the  old  world  to  employ  a 
semi-weekly  line  of  steamers  of  3,000  tons  capacity.  This  branch  is 
not  likely  to  be  greatly  developed.  Even  after  the  great  Welland  Canal 
is  completed  we  shall  have  only  fourteen  feet  of  water.  The  great  ocean 
vessels  will  continue  to  control  the  trade. 

The  banking  capital  of  Chicago  is  $24,431,000.  Total  exchange  in 
1875,  $659,000,000.  Her  wholesale  business  in  1875  was  $294,000,000. 
The  rate  of  taxes  is  less  than  in  an}'"  other  great  city. 

The  schools  of  Chicago  are  unsurpassed  in  America.  Out  of  a  popu- 
lation of  300,000  there  were  only  186  persons  between  the  ages  of  six 
and  twenty-one  unable  to  read.     This  is  the  best  known  record. 

In  1831  the  mail  system  was  condensed  into  a  half-breed,  who  went 
on  foot  to  Niles,  Mich.,  once  in  two  weeks,  and  brought  back  what  papers 
and  news  he  could  find.  As  late  as  1846  there  was  often  only  one  mail 
a  week.  A  post-ofi&ce  was  established  in  Chicago  in  1833,  and  the  post- 
master nailed  up  old  boot-legs  on  one  side  of  his  shop  to  serve  as  boxes 
for  the  nabobs  and  literary  men. 

It  is  an  interesting  fact  in  the  growth  of  the  young  city  that  in  the 
active  life  of  the  business  men  of  that  day  the  mail  matter  has  grown  to 
a  daily  average  of  over  6,500  pounds.  It  speaks  equally  well  for  the 
intelligence  of  the  people  and  the  commercial  importance  of  the  place, 
that  the  mail  matter  distributed  to  the  territory  immediately  tributary  to 
Chicago  is  seven  times  greater  than  that  distributed  to  the  territory 
immediately  tributary  to  St.  Louis. 

The  improvements  that  have  characterized  the  city  are  as  startling 
as  the  city  itself.  In  1831,  Mark  Beaubien  established  a  ferry  over  the 
river,  and  put  himself  under  bonds  to  carry  all  the  citizens  free  for  the 
privilege  of  charging  strangers.  Now  there  are  twenty-four  large  bridges 
and  two  tunnels. 

In  1833  the  government  expended  $30,000  on  the  harbor.  Then 
commenced  that  series  of  manoeuvers  with  the  river  that  has  made  it  one 


HISTORY   OF  THE  STATE  OF   ILLINOIS.  39 

of  the  world's  curiosities.  It  used  to  wind  around  in  the  lower  end  of 
the  town,  and  make  its  way  rippling  over  the  sand  into  the  lake  at  the 
foot  of  Madison  street.  They  took  it  up  and  put  it  down  where  it  now 
is.  It  was  a  narrow  stream,  so  narrow  that  even  moderately  small  crafts 
had  to  go  up  through  the  willows  and  cat's  tails  to  the  point  near  Lake 
street  bridge,  and  back  up  one  of  the  branches  to  get  room  enough  in 
which  to  turn  around. 

In  1844  the  quagmires  in  the  streets  were  first  pontooned  by  plank 
roads,  which  acted  in  wet  weather  as  public  squirt-guns.  Keeping  you 
out  of  the  mud,  they  compromised  by  squirting  the  mud  over  you.  The 
wooden-block  pavements  came  to  Chicago  in  1857.  In  1840  water  was 
delivered  by  peddlers  in  carts  or  by  hand.  Then  a  twenty-five  horse- 
power engine  pushed  it  through  hollow  or  bored  logs  along  the  streets 
till  1854,  when  it  was  introduced  into  the  houses  by  new  works.  The 
first  fire-engine  was  used  in  1835,  and  the  first  steam  fire-engine  in  1859. 
Gas  was  utilized  for  lighting  the  city  in  1850.  The  Young  Men's  Chris- 
tian Association  was  organized  in  1858,  and  horse  railroads  carried  them 
to  their  work  in  1859.  The  museum  was  opened  in  1863.  The  alarm 
telegraph  adopted  in  1864.  The  opera-house  built  in  1865.  The  city 
grew  from  560  acres  in  1833  to  23,000  in  1869.  In  1834,  the  taxes 
amounted  to  $48.90,  and  the  trustees  of  the  town  borrowed  $60  more  for 
opening  and  improving  streets.  In  1835,  the  legislature  authorized  a  loan 
of  $2,000,  and  the  treasurer  and  street  commissioners  resigned  rather  than 
plunge  the  town  into  such  a  gulf. 

Now  the  city  embraces  36  square  miles  of  territory,  and  has  30  miles 
of  water  front,  besides  the  outside  harbor  of  refuge,  of  400  acres,  inclosed 
by  a  crib  sea-wall.  One-third  of  the  city  has  been  raised  up  an  average 
of  eight  feet,  giving  good  pitch  to  the  263  miles  of  sewerage.  The  water 
of  the  city  is  above  all  competition.  It  is  received  through  two  tunnels 
extending  to  a  crib  in  the  lake  two  miles  from  shore.  The  closest  analy- 
sis fails  to  detect  any  impurities,  and,  received  35  feet  below  the  surface, 
it  is  always  clear  and  cold.  The  first  tunnel  is  five  feet  two  inches  in 
diameter  and  two  miles  long,  and  can  deliver  50,000,000  of  gallons  per 
day.  The  second  tunnel  is  seven  feet  in  diameter  and  six  miles  long, 
running  four  miles  under  the  city,  and  can  deliver  100,000,000  of  gal- 
lons per  day.  This  water  is  distributed  through  410  miles  of  water- 
mains. 

The  three  grand  engineering  exploits  of  the  city  are :  First,  lifting 
the  city  up  on  jack-screws,  whole  squares  at  a  time,  without  interrupting 
the  business,  thus  giving  us  good  drainage  ;  second,  running  the  tunnels 
under  the  lake,  giving  us  the  best  water  in  the  world ;  and  third,  the 
turning  the  current  of  the  river  in  its  own  channel,  delivering  us  from  the 
old  abominations,  and  making  decency  possible.     They  redound  about

equally  to  the  creclii  of  the  engineering,  to  the  energy  of  the  people,  and 
to  the  health  of  the  city. 

That  which  really  constitutes  the  city,  its  indescribable  spirit,  its  soul, 
the  way  it  lights  ^ip  in  every  feature  in  the  hour  of  action,  has  not  been 
touched.  In  meeting  strangers,  one  is  often  surprised  how  some  homely 
women  marry  so  well.  Their  forms  are  bad,  their  gait  uneven  and  awk- 
ward, their  complexion  is  dull,  their  features  are  misshapen  and  mismatch- 
ed, and  when  we  see  them  there  is  no  beauty  that  we  should  desire  them. 
But  when  once  they  are  aroused  on  some  subject,  the}'  put  on  new  pro- 
portions. They  light  up  into  great  power.  The  real  person  comes  out 
from  its  unseemly  ambush,  and  captures  us  at  will.  They  have  power. 
They  have  ability  to  cause  things  to  come  to  pass.  We  no  longer  wonder 
why  they  are  in  such  high  demand.     So  it  is  with  our  city. 

There  is  no  grand  scenery  except  the  two  seas,  one  of  water,  the 
other  of  prairie.  Nevertheless,  there  is  a  spirit  about  it,  a  push,  a  breadth, 
a  power,  that  soon  makes  it  a  place  never  to  be  forsaken.  One  soon 
ceases  to  believe  in  impossibilities.  Balaams  are  the  only  prophets  that  are 
disappointed.  The  bottom  that  has  been  on  the  point  of  falling  out  has 
been  there  so  long  that  it  has  grown  fast.  It  can  not  fall  out.  It  has  all 
the  capital  of  the  world  itching  to  get  inside  the  corporation. 

The  two  great  laws  that  govern  the  growth  and  size  of  cities  are, 
first,  the  amount  of  territory  for  which  they  are  the  distributing  and 
receiving  points  ;  second,  the  number  of  medium  or  moderate  dealers  that 
do  this  distributing.  Monopolists  build  up  themselves,  not  the  cities. 
They  neither  eat,  wear,  nor  live  in  proportion  to  their  business.  Both 
these  laws  help  Chicago. 

The  tide  of  trade  is  eastward — not  up  or  down  the  map,  but  across 
the  map.  The  lake  runs  up  a  wingdam  for  500  miles  to  gather  in  the 
business.  Commerce  can  not  ferry  up  there  for  seven  months  in  the  year, 
and  the  facilities  for  seven  months  can  do  the  work  for  twelve.  Then  the 
great  region  west  of  us  is  nearly  all  good,  productive  land.  Dropping 
south  into  the  trail  of  St.  Louis,  you  fall  into  vast  deserts  and  rocky  dis- 
tricts, useful  in  holding  the  world  together.  St.  Louis  and  Cincinnati, 
instead  of  rivaling  and  hurting  Chicago,  are  her  greatest  sureties  of 
dominion.  They  are  far  enough  away  to  give  sea-room, — farther  off  than 
Paris  is  from  London, — and  yet  they  are  near  enough  to  prevent  the 
springing  up  of  any  other  great  city  between  them. 

St.  Louis  will  be  helped  by  the  opening  of  the  Mississippi,  but  also 
hurt.  That  will  put  New  Orleans  on  her  feet,  and  with  a  railroad  running 
over  into  Texas  and  so  West,  she  will  tap  the  streams  that  now  crawl  up 
the  Texas  and  Missouri  road.  The  current  is  East,  not  North,  and  a  sea- 
port at  New  Orleans  can  not  permanently  help  St.  Louis. 

Chicago  is  in  the  field  almost  alone,  to  handle  the  wealth  of  one- 


HISTORY   OF   THE   STATE   OP    ILLINOIS.  41 

fourth  of  the  territory  of  this  great  republic.  This  strip  of  seacoast 
divides  its  margins  between  Portland,  Boston,  New  York,  Philadelpliia, 
Baltimore  and  Savannah,  or  some  other  great  port  to  be  created  for  the 
South  in  the  next  decade.  But  Chicago  has  a  dozen  einjpires  casting  their 
treasures  into  her  lap.  On  a  bed  of  coal  that  can  run  all  the  machinery 
of  the  world  for  500  centuries ;  in  a  garden  that  can  feed  the  race  by  the 
thousand  years;  at  the  head  of  the  lakes  that  give  her  a  temperature  as  a 
summer  resort  equaled  by  no  great  city  in  the  land  ;  with  a  climate  that 
insures  the  health  of  her  citizens ;  surrounded  by  all  the  great  deposits 
of  natural  wealth  in  mines  and  forests  and  herds,  Chicago  is  the  wonder 
of  to-day,  and  will  be  the  city  of  the  future. 

MASSACRE  AT  FORT  DEARBORN. 

During  the  war  of  1812,  Fort  Dearborn  became  the  theater  of  stirring 
events.  The  garrison  consisted  of  fifty-four  men  under  command  of 
Captain  Nathan  Heald,  assisted  by  Lieutenant  Helm  (son-in-law  of  Mrs. 
Kinzie)  and  Ensign  Ronan.  Dr.  Voorhees  was  surgeon.  The  only  resi- 
dents at  the  post  at  that  time  were  the  wives  of  Captain  Heald  and  Lieu- 
tenant Helm,  and  a  few  of  the  soldiers,  Mr.  Kinzie  and  his  family,  and 
a  few  Canadian  voyageurs,  with  their  wives  and  children.  The  soldiers 
and  Mr.  Kinzie  were  on  most  friendly  terms  with  the  Pottawattamies 
and  Winnebagos,  the  principal  tribes  around  them,  but  they  could  not 
win  them  from  their  attachment  to  the  British. 

One  evening  in  April,  1812,  Mr.  Kinzie  sat  playing  on  his  violin  and 
his  children  were  dancino:  to  the  music,  when  Mrs.  Kinzie  came  rushingr 
into  the  house,  pale  with  terror,  and  exclaiming:  "The  Indians!  the 
Indians!"  "What?  Where?"  eagerly  inquired  Mr.  Kinzie.  "Up 
at  Lee's,  killing  and  scalping,"  answered  the  frightened  mother,  who, 
when  the  alarm  was  given,  was  attending  Mrs.  Barnes  (just  confined) 
living  not  far  off.  Mr.  Kinzie  and  his  family  crossed  the  river  and  took 
refuge  in  the  fort,  to  which  place  Mrs.  Barnes  and  her  infant  not  a  day 
old  were  safely  conveyed.  The  rest  of  the  inhabitants  took  shelter  in  the 
fort.  This  alarm  was  caused  by  a  scalping  party  of  Winnebagos,  who 
hovered  about  the  fort  several  days,  when  they  disappeared,  and  for  several 
weeks  the  inhabitants  were  undisturbed. 

On  the  7th  of  August,  1812,  General  Hull,  at  Detroit,  sent  orders  to 
Captain  Heald  to  evacuate  Fort  Dearborn,  and  to  distribute  all  the  United 
States  property  to  the  Indians  in  the  neighborhood — a  most  insane  order. 
The  Pottawattamie  chief,  who  brought  the  dispatch,  had  more  wisdom 
than  the  commanding  general.  He  advised  Captain  Heald  not  to  make 
the  distribution.  Said  he  :  "  Leave  the  fort  and  stores  as  they  are,  and 
let  the  Indians  make  distribution  for  themselves ;  and  while  they  are 
engaged  in  the  business,  the  white  people  may  escape  to  Fort  Wayne." 


42  HISTORY   OF   THE   STATE   OP    ILLINOIS. 

Captain  Heald  held  a  council  with  the  Indians  on  the  afternoon  of 
the  12th,  in  which  his  ofi&cers  refused  to  join,  for  they  had  been  informed 
that  treachery  was  designed — ^that  the  Indians  intended  to  murder  the 
white  people  in  the  council,  and  then  destroy  those  in  the  fort.  Captain 
Heald,  however,  took  the  precaution  to  open  a  port-hole  displaying  a 
cannon  pointing  directly  upon  the  council,  and  by  that  means  saved 
his  life. 

Mr.  Kinzie,  who  knew  the  Indians  well,  begged  Captain  Heald  not 
to  confide  in  their  promises,  nor  distribute  the  arms  and  munitions  among 
them,  for  it  would  only  put  power  into  their  hands  to  destroy  the  whites. 
Acting  upon  this  advice,  Heald  resolved  to  withhold  the  munitions  of 
war ;  and  on  the  night  of  the  13th,  after  the  distribution  of  the  other 
property  had  been  made,  the  powder,  ball  and  liquors  were  thrown  into 
the  river,  the  muskets  broken  up  and  destroyed. 

Black  Partridge,  a  friendly  chief,  came  to  Captain  Heald,  and  said : 
"  Linden  birds  have  been  singing  in  my  ears  to-day:  be  careful  on  the 
march  you  are  going  to  take."  On  that  dark  night  vigilant  Indians  had 
crept  near  the  fort  and  discovered  the  destruction  of  their  promised  booty 
going  on  within.  The  next  morning  the  powder  was  seen  floating  on  the 
surface  of  the  river.  The  savages  were  exasperated  and  made  loud  com- 
plaints and  threats. 

On  the  following  day  when  preparations  were  making  to  leave  the 
fort,  and  all  the  inmates  were  deeply  impressed  with  a  sense  of  impend- 
ing danger,  Capt.  Wells,  an  uncle  of  Mrs.  Heald,  was  discovered  upon 
the  Indian  trail  among  the  sand-hills  on  the  borders  of  the  lake,  not  far 
distant,  with  a  band  of  motinted  Miamis,  of  whose  tribe  he  vyas  chief, 
having  been  adopted  by  the  famous  Miami  warrior.  Little  Turtle.  When 
news  of  Hull's  surrender  reached  Fort  Wayne,  he  had  started  with  this 
force  to  assist  Heald  in  defending  Fort  Dearborn.  He  was  too  late. 
Every  means  for  its  defense  had  been  destroyed  the  night  before,  and 
arrangements  were  made  for  leaving  the  fort  on  the  morning  of  the  loth. 

It  was  a  warm  bright  morning  in  the  middle  of  August.  Indications 
were  positive  that  the  savages  intended  to  murder  the  white  people ;  and 
when  they  moved  out  of  the  southern  gate  of  the  fort,  the  march  was 
like  a  funeral  procession.  The  band,  feeling  the  solemnity  of  the  occa^ 
sion,  struck  up  the  Dead  March  in  Saul. 

Capt.  Wells,  who  had  blackened  his  face  with  gun-powder  in  token 
of  his  fate,  took  the  lead  with  his  band  of  Miamis,  followed  by  Capt. 
Heald,  with  his  wife  by  his  side  on  horseback.  Mr.  Kinzie  hoped  by  his 
personal  influence  to  avert  the  impending  blow,  and  therefore  accompanied 
them,  leaving  his  family  in  a  boat  in  charge  of  a  friendly  Indian,  to  be 
taken  to  his  trading  station  at  the  site  of  Niles,  Michigan,  in  the  event  of 
his  death. 


HISTOBY   OF   THE   STATE   OP  ILLINOIS.  43 

The  procession  moved  slowly  along  the  lake  shore  till  they  reached 
the  sand-hills  between  the  prairie  and  the  beach,  wJieu  the  Pottawattamie 
escort,  under  the  leadership  of  Blackbird,  filed  to  the  right,  placing  those 
hills  between  them  and  the  white  people.  Wells,  with  his  Miarais,  had 
kept  in  the  advance.  They  suddenly  came  rushing  back,  Wells  exclaim- 
ing, "  They  are  about  to  attack  us ;  form  instantly."  These  words  were 
quickly  followed  by  a  storm  of  bullets,  which  came  whistling  over  the 
little  hills  wiiich  the  treacherous  savages  had  made  the  covert  for  their 
murderous  attack.  The  white  troops  charged  upon  the  Indians,  drove 
them  back  to  the  prairie,  and  then  the  battle  was  waged  between  fifty- 
four  soldiers,  twelve  civilians  and  three  or  four  women  (the  cowardly 
Miamis  having  fled  at  the  outset)  against  five  hundred  Indian  warriors. 
The  white  people,  hopeless,  resolved  to  sell  their  lives  as  dearly  as  possible. 
Ensign  Ronan  wielded  his  weapon  vigorously,  even  after  falling  upon  his 
knees  weak  from  the  loss  of  blood.  Capt.  Wells,  who  was  bj'  the  side  of 
his  niece,  Mrs.  Heald,  when  the  conflict  began,  behaved  with  the  greatest 
coolness  and  courage.  He  said  to  her,  "  We  have  not  the  slightest  chance 
for  life.  We  must  part  to  meet  no  more  in  this  world.  God  bless  3''0u." 
And  then  he  dashed  forward.  Seeing  a  3'oung  warrior,  painted  like  a 
demon,  climb  into  a  wagon  in  which  were  twelve  children,  and  tomahawk 
them  all,  he  cried  out,  unmindful  of  his  personal  danger,  "  If  that  is  your 
game,  butchering  women  and  children,  I  will  kill  too."  He  spurred  his 
horse  towards  the  Indian  camp,  where  they  had  left  their  squaws  and 
papooses,  hotly  pursued  by  swift-footed  young  warriors,  who  sent  bullets 
whistling  after  him.  One  of  these  killed  his  horse  and  wounded  him 
severely  in  the  leg.  With  a  yell  the  young  braves  rushed  to  make  him 
their  prisoner  and  reserve  him  for  torture.  He  resolved  not  to  be  made 
a  captive,  and  b}'  the  use  of  the  most  provoking  epithets  tried  to  induce 
them  to  kill  him  instantly.  He  called  a  fiery  young  chief  a  squmv,  when 
the  enraged  warrior  killed  Wells  instantly  with  his  tomahawk,  jumped 
upon  his  body,  cut  out  his  heart,  and  ate  a  portion  of  the  warm  morsel 
with  savage  delight ! 

In  this  fearful  combat  women  bore  a  conspicuous  part.  Mrs.  Heald 
was  an  excellent  equestrian  and  an  expert  in  the  use  of  the  rifle.  She 
fought  the  savages  bravely,  receiving  several  severe  wounds.  Though 
faiht  from  the  loss  of  blood,  she  managed  to  keep  her  saddle.  A  savage 
raised  his  tomahawk  to  kill  her,  when  she  looked  him  full  in  the  face, 
and  with  a  sweet  smile  and  in  a  gentle  voice  said,  in  his  own  language, 
"  Surely  you  will  not  kill  a  squaw !  "  The  arm  of  the  savage  fell,  and 
the  life  of  the  heroic  woman  was  saved. 

Mrs.  Helm,  the  step-daughter  of  Mr.  Kinzie,  had  an  encounter  with 
a  stout  Indian,  who  attempted  to  tomahawk  her.  Springing  to  one  side, 
she  received  the  glancing  blow  on  her  shoulder,  and  at  the  same  instant 


44  HISTOKY   OF  THE   STATE   OF  ILLINOIS. 

seized  the  savage  round  the  ueck  with  her  arms  and  endeavored  to  get 
hold  of  his  scalping  knife,  which  hung  in  a  sheath  at  his  breast.  While 
she  was  thus  struggling  she  was  dragged  from  her  antagonist  by  anotlier 
Ijowerful  Indian,  who  bore  her,  in  spite  of  her  struggles,  to  the  margin 
of  the  lake  and  plunged  her  in.  To  her  astonishment  she  was  held  by 
him  so  that  she  would  not  drown,  and  she  soon  perceived  that  she  was 
in  the  hands  of  the  friendly  Black  Partridge,  who  had  saved  her  life. 

The  wife  of  Sergeant  Holt,  a  large  and  powerful  woman,  behaved  as 
bravely  as  an  Amazon.  She  rode  a  fine,  high-spirited  horse,  which  the 
Indians  coveted,  and  several  of  them  attacked  her  with  the  butts  of  their 
guns,  for  the  purpose  of  dismounting  her ;  ■  but  she  used  the  sword  which 
she  had  snatched  from  her  disabled  husband  so  skillfully  that  she  foiled 
them ;  and,  suddenly  wheeling  her  horse,  she  dashed  over  the  prairie, 
followed  by  the  savages  shouting,  "  The  brave  woman  !  the  brave  woman  ! 
Don't  hurt  her  !  "  They  finally  overtook  her,  and  while  she  was  fighting 
them  in  front,  a  powerful  savage  came  up  behind  her,  seized  her  by  tlie 
neck  and  dragged  her  to  the  ground.  Horse  and  woman  were  made 
captives.  Mrs.  Holt  was  a  long  time  a  captive  among  the  Indians,  but 
was  afterwards  ransomed. 

In  this  sharp  conflict  two-thirds  of  the  white  people  were  slain  and 
wounded,  and  all  their  horses,  baggage  and -provision  were  lost.  Only 
twenty-eight  straggling  men  now  remained  to  fight  five  hundred  Indians 
rendered  furious  b}'^  the  sight  of  blood.  They  succeeded  in  breaking 
through  the  ranks  of  the  murderers  and  gaining  a  slight  eminence  on  the 
prairie  near  the  Oak  Woods.  The  Indians  did  not  pursue,  but  gathered 
on  their  flanks,  while  the  chiefs  held  a  consultation  on  the  sand-hills,  and 
showed  signs  of  willingness  to  parley.  It  would  have  been  madness  on 
the  part  of  the  whites  to  renew  the  fight;  and  so  Capt.  Heald  went  for- 
ward and  met  Blackbird  on  the  open  prairie,  where  terms  of  surrender 
were  soon  agreed  upon.  It  was  arranged  that  the  white  people  should 
give  up  their  arms  to  Blackbird,  and  that  the  survivors  should  become 
prisoners  of  war,  to  be  exchanged  for  ransoms  as  soon  as  practicable. 
With  this  understanding  captives  and  captors  started  for  the  Indian 
camp  near  the  fort,  to  which  Mrs.  Helm  had  been  taken  bleeding  and 
suffering  by  Black  Partridge,  and  had  met  her  step-father  and  learned 
that  her  husband  was  safe. 

A  new  scene  of  horror  was  now  opened  at  the  Indian  camp.  The 
wounded,  not  being  included  in  the  terms  of  surrender,  as  it  was  inter- 
preted by  the  Indians,  and  the  British  general.  Proctor,  having  offered  a 
liberal  bounty  for  American  scalps,  delivered  at  Maiden,  nearly  all  the 
wounded  men  were  killed  and  scalped,  and  the  price  of  the  trophies  was 
afterwards  paid  by  the  Britisli  government.

Penalty  for  giving  less  than  the  above  standard  is  double  the  amount 
of  property  wrongfully  not  given,  and  ten  dollars  addition  thereto. 

MILLERS. 

The  owner  or  occupant  of  every  public  grist  mill  in  this  state  shall 
grind  all  grain  brought  to  his  mill  in  its  turn.  The  toll  for  both  ^team 
and  loater  mills,  is,  for  grinding  and  bolting  ivJieat^  rye^  or  other  grain.,  one 
eighth  part;  for  grinding  Indian  corn,  oats.,  barley  and  buckwheat  not 
required  to  be  bolted.,  one  seventh  i^art;  for  grinding  malt.,  and  chopping  dl\ 
kinds  of  grain,  one  eighth  part.  It  is  the  duty  of  every  miller  when  his 
mill  is  in  repair,  to  aid  and  assist  in  loading  and  unloading  all  grain  brought 
to  him  to  be  ground,  and  he  is  also  required  to  keep  an  accurate  half 
bushel  measure,  and  an  accurate  set  of  toll  dishes  or  scales  for  weio-hinsr 
the  grain.  The  penalty  for  neglect  or  refusal  to  comply  with  the  law  is 
$5,  to  the  use  of  any  person  to  sue  for  the  same,  to  be  recovered  before 
any  justice  of  the  peace  of  the  county  where  penalty  is  incurred.  Millers 
are  accountable  for  the  safe  keeping  of  all  grain  left  in  his  mill  for  the 
purpose  of  being  ground,  with  bags  or  casks  containing  same  (except  it 
results  from  unavoidable  accidents),  provided  that  such  bags  or  casks  are 
distinctly  marked  with  the  initial  letters  of  the  owner's  name. 

MARKS  AND  BRANDS. 

Owners  of  cattle,  horses,  hogs,  sheep  or  goats  may  have  one  ear  mark 
and  one  brand,  but  which  shall  be  different  from  his  neighbor'' s,  and  may 
be  recorded  by  the  county  clerk  of  the  county  in  which  such  property  is 
kept.  The/ee  for  such  record  is  fifteen  cents.  The  record  of  such  shall 
be  open  to  examination  free  of  charge.  In  cases  of  disputes  as  to  marks 
or  brands,  such  record  is  prima  facie  evidence.  Owners  of  cattle,  horses, 
hogs,  sheep  or  goats  that  may  have  been  branded  by  the  former  owner., 


54  ABSTRACT   OF   TLLTNOIS   STATE   LAWS. 

ma}^  be  re-branderl  in  presence  of  one  or  more  of  his  neighbors,  who  shall 
certify  to  the  facts  of  the  marking  or  branding  being  done,  when  done, 
and  in  what  brand  or  mark  they  were  re-branded  or  re-marked,  which 
certificate  may  also  be  recorded  as  before  stated. 

ADOPTION  OF  CHILDREN. 

Children  may  be  adopted  by  any  resident  of  this  state,  by  filing  a 
petition  in  the  Circuit  or  County  Court  of  the  county  in  which  he  resides, 
asking  leave  to  do  so,  and  if  desired  may  ask  that  the  name  of  the  child 
be  changed.  Such  petition,  if  made  by  a  person  having  a  husband  or 
wife,  will  not  be  granted,  unless  the  husband  or  wife  joins  therein,  as  the 
adoption  must  be  by  them  jointly. 

The  petition  shall  state  name,  sex,  and  age  of  the  child,  and  the  new 
name,  if  it  is  desired  to  change  the  name.  Also  the  name  and  residence 
of  the  parents  of  the  child,  if  known,  and  of  the  guardian,  if  any,  and 
whether  the  parents  or  guardians  consent  to  the  adoption. 

The  court  must  find,  before  granting  decree,  that  the  parents  of  the 
child,  or  the  survivors  of  them,  have  deserted  his  or  her  family/  or  such 
child  for  one  year  next  preceding  the  application,  or  if  neither  are  living, 
the  guardian ;  if  no  guardian,  the  next  of  kin  in  this  state  capable  of  giving 
consent,  has  had  notice  of  the  presentation  of  the  petition  and  consents 
to  such  adoption.  If  the  child  is  of  the  age  of  fourteen  years  or  upwards, 
the  adoption  can  not  be  made  without  its  consent. 

SURVEYORS  AND  SURVEYS. 

There  is  in  every  county  elected  a  surveyor  known  as  county  sur- 
veyor, who  has  power  to  appoint  deputies,  for  whose  official  acts  he  is 
responsible.  It  is  the  duty  of  the  county  surveyor,  either  by  himself  or 
his  deputy,  to  make  all  surveys  that  he  may  be  called  upon  to  make  within 
his  county  as  soon  as  may  be  after  application  is  made.  The  necessary 
chainmen  and  other  assistance  must  be  employed  by  the  person  requiring 
the  same  to  be  done,  and  to  be  by  him  paid,  unless  otherwise  agreed ;  but 
the  chainmen  must  be  disinterested  persons  and  approved  by  the  surveyor 
and  sworn  by  him  to  measure  justly  and  impartially. 

The  County  Board  in  each  countj^  is  required  by  law  to  provide  a  copy 
of  the  United  States  field  notes  and  plats  of  their  surveys  of  the  lands 
in  the  county  to  be  kept  in  the  recorder's  office  subject  to  examination 
by  the  public,  and  the  county  surveyor  is  required  to  make  his  surveys 
in  conformity  to  said  notes,  plats  and  the  laws  of  the  United  States  gov- 
erning such  matters.  The  surveyor  is  also  required  to  keep  a  record 
of  all  surveys  made  by  him,  which  shall  be  subject  to  inspection  by  any 
one  interested,  and  shall  be  delivered  up  to  his  successor  in  office.     A 


ABSTRACT   OF  ILLINOIS   STATE  LAWS.  65 

certified  copy  of  the  said  surveyor's  record  shall  be  prima  facie  evidence 
of  its  contents. 

The  fees  of  county  surveyors  are  six  dollars  per  day.  The  county 
surveyor  is  also  ex  officio  inspector  of  mines,  and  as  such,  assisted  by  some 
practical  miner  selected  by  him,  shall  once  each  year  inspect  all  the 
mines  in  the  county,  for  which  they  shall  each  receive  such  compensa- 
tion as  may  be  fixed  by  the  County  Board,  not  exceeding  $5  a  day,  to 
be  paid  out  of  the  county  treasury. 

ROADS. 

Where  practicable  from  the  nature  of  the  ground,  persons  traveling 
in  any  kind  of  vehicle,  must  turn  to  the  right  of  the  center  of  the  road,  so 
as  to  permit  each  carriage  to  pass  without  interfering  with  each  other. 
The  penalty  for  a  violation  of  this  provision  is  $5  for  every  offense,  to 
be  recovered  by  the  party  injured ;  but  to  recover,  there  must  have 
occurred  some  injury  to  person  or  property  resulting  from  the  violation. 
The  owners  of  any  carriage  traveling  upon  any  road  in  this  State  for  the 
conveyance  of  passengers  who  shall  employ  or  continue  in  his  employment 
as  driver  any  person  who  is  addicted  to  drunkenness^  or  the  excessive  use  of 
spiritous  liquors,  after  he  has  had  notice  of  the  same,  shall  forfeit,  at  the 
rate  of  $5  per  day,  and  if  any  driver  while  actually  engaged  in  driving 
any  such  carriage,  shall  be  guilty  of  intoxication  to  such  a  degree  as  to 
endanger  the  safety  of  passengers,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  owner,  on 
receiving  ivritten  notice  of  the  fa^t,  signed  by  one  of  the  passengers,  and 
certified  by  him  on  oath,  forthwith  to  discharge  such  driver.  If  such  owner 
shall  have  such  driver  in  his  employ  within  three  months  after  such  notice, 
he  is  liable  for  i5  per  day  for  the  time  he  shall  keep  said  driver  in  his 
employment  after  receiving  such  notice. 

Persons  driving  any  carriage  on  any  public  highway  are  prohibited 
from  running  their  horses  upon  any  occasion  under  a  penalty  of  a  fine  not 
exceeding  f  10,  or  imprisonment  not  exceeding  sixty  days,  at  the  discre- 
tion of  the  court.  Horses  attached  to  any  carriage  used  to  convey  passen- 
gers for  hire  must  be  properly  hitched  or  the  lines  placed  in  the  hands  of 
some  other  person  before  the  driver  leaves  them  for  any  purpose.  For 
violation  of  this  provision  each  driver  shall  forfeit  tiventy  dollars,  to  be 
recovered  by  action,  to  be  commenced  within  six  months.  It  is  under- 
stood by  the  term  carriage  herein  to  mean  any  carriage  or  vehicle  used 
for  the  transportation  of  passengers  or  goods  or  either  of  them. 

The  commissioners  of  highways  in  the  different  tov/ns  have  the  care 
and  superintendence  of  highways  and  bridges  therein.  They  have  all 
the  powers  necessary  to  lay  out,  vacate,  regulate  and  repair  all  roads? 
build  and  repair  bridges,  divide  their  respective  towns  into  as  many  road 
districts  as  they  shall  think  convenient.     This  is  to  be  done  annually, 


66  ABSTRACT   OF  ILLIKOTS   STATE  LAWS. 

and  ten  days  before  the  annual  town  mueLing.  In  addition  to  the  above, 
it  is  their  duty  to  erect  and  keep  in  repair  at  the  forks  or  crossing-place 
of  the  most  important  roads  post  and  guide  boards  with  plain  inscrip- 
tions, giving  directions  and  distances  to  the  most  noted  places  to  which 
such  road  may  lead  ;  also  to  make  provisions  to  prevent  thistles,  burdock, 
and  cockle  burrs,  mustard,  yellow  dock,  Indian  mallow,  and  jessamine 
weed  from  seeding,  and  to  extirpate  the  same  as  far  as  practicable,  and 
to  prevent  all  rank  growth  of  vegetation  on  the  public  highways,  so  far 
as  the  same  may  obstruct  public  travel,  and  it  is  in  their  discretion  to 
erect  watering  places  for  public  use  for  watering  teams  at  such  points 
as  may  be  deemed  advisable.  Every  able-bodied  male  inhabitant,  being 
above  the  age  of  twenty-one  years,  and  under  the  age  of  fifty,  excepting 
paupers,  idiots,  lunatics,  trustees  of  schools  and  school  directors,  and  such 
others  as  are  exempt  by  law,  is  required  to  labor  on  highways  in  their 
respective  road  districts,  not  less  than  one  or  more  than  three  days  in 
each  and  every  year.  Three  days'  notice  must  be  given  by  the  overseer 
of  the  time  and  place  he  requires  such  road  labor  to  be  done.  The  labor 
must  be  performed  in  the  road  district  in  which  the  person  resides.  Any 
person  may  commute  for  such  labor  by  paying  at  the  rate  of  $1.50  per 
day,  if  done  within  the  three  days'  notice,  but  after  that  time  the  rate  is 
$2  per  day. 

Any  person  liable  for  work  on  highways  who  has  been  assessed  two 
days  or  more  and  has  not  commuted,  may  be  required  to  furnish  team,  oi 
a  cart,  wagon  or  plow,  with  a  pair  of  horses  or  oxen  and  a  man  to  manage 
them,  for  which  he  will  be  entitled  to  two  days  for  each  day's  work. 
Eight  hours  is  a  day's  work  on  the  roads,  and  there  is  a  penalty  of  twenty- 
five  cents  an  hour  against  any  person  or  substitute  who  shall  neglect  or 
refuse  to  perform.  Any  person  remaining  idle,  or  does  not  work  faithfully 
or  hinders  others  from  doing  so,  forfeits  to  the  town  $2. 

Every  person  assessed  and  duly  notified,  who  has  not  commuted  and 
refuses  or  neglects  to  appear,  shall  forfeit  to  the  town  for  every  days 
refusal  or  neglect,  the  sum  of  $2 ;  if  he  was  required  to  furnish  a  team, 
carriage,  man  or  implement,  and  neglects  or  refuses  to  comply,  he  is  liable 
to  the  following  fines  : 

First.     For  wholly  failing  to  comply,  $4  each  day. 

Second.  For  omitting  to  furnish  a  pair  of  horses  or  oxen,  $1.50  each 
day. 

Third.     For  omitting  to  furnish  a  man  to  manage  team,  f  2  each  day. 

Fourth.  For  omitting  to  furnish  a  wagon,  cart  or  plow,  75  cents 
each  day. 

The  Commissioners  estimate  and  assess  the  highway  labor  and  road 
tax.  The  road  tax  on  real  and  personal  property  can  not  exceed  forty 
cents  on  each  hundred  dollars'  worth.     The  labor  or  road  tax  in  villages.

towns  or  cities,  is  paid  over  to  the  corporate  authorities  of  such,  for  the 
improvement  of  streets,  roads  and  bridges  within  their  Umits.  Commis- 
sioners' compensation  -$1.50  per  day.  The  Treasurer,  who  is  one  of  their 
number,  is  entitled  to  2  per  cent,  on  all  moneys  he  may  receive  and  pay 
out. 

Overseers.  Their  duties  are  to  repair  and  keep  in  order  the  high- 
ways in  their  districts ;  to  warn  persons  to  work  out  their  road  tax  at 
such  time  and  place  as  they  think  proper ;  to  collect  fines  and  commuta- 
tion money,  and  execute  all  lawful  orders  of  the  Commissioners  of  High- 
ways ;  also  make  list,  within  sixteen  days  after  their  election,  of  the  names 
of  all  inhabitants  in  his  road  district  liable  to  work  on  highways.  For 
refusal  to  perform  any  of  his  duties,  he  is  liable  to  a  fine  of  $10.  The 
compensation  of  overseers  is  $1.50  a  day,  the  number  of  days  to  be 
audited  by  the  Highway  Commissioners. 

As  all  township  and  county  officers  are  familiar  with  their  duties,  it 
is  only  intended  to  give  the  points  of  the  law  that  the  public  should  be 
familiar  with.  The  manner  of  laying  out,  altering  or  vacating  roads,  etc., 
will  not  be  here  stated,  as  it  would  require  more  space  than  is  contem- 
plated in  a  work  of  this  kind.  It  is  sufficient  to  state  that,  the  first  step 
is  by  petition,  addressed  to  the  Commissioners,  setting  out  what  is  prayed 
for,  giving  the  names  of  the  owners  of  lands  if  known,  if  not  known  so 
state,  over  which  the  road  is  to  pass,  giving  the  general  course,  its  place 
of  beginning,  and  where  it  terminates.  It  requires  not  less  than  twelve 
freeholders  residing  within  three  miles  of  the  road  who  shall  sign  the 
petition.  Public  roads  must  not  be  less  than  fifty  feet  wide,  nor  more 
than  sixty  feet  wide.  Roads  not  exceeding  two  miles  in  length,  if  peti- 
tioned for,  may  be  laid  out,  not  less  than  forty  feet.  Private  roads 
for  private  and  public  use,  may  be  laid  out  of  the  width  of  three  rods,  on 
petition  of  the  person  directly  interested  ;  the  damage  occasioned  thereby 
shall  be  paid  by  the  premises  benefited  thereby,  and  before  the  road  is 
opened.  If  not  opened  in  two  years,  the  order  shall  be  considered 
rescinded.  Commissioners  in  their  discretion  may  permit  persons  who 
live  on  or  have  private  roads,  to  work  out  their  road  tax  thereon.  Public 
roads  must  be  opened  in  five  days  from  date  of  filing  order  of  location, 
or  be  deemed  vacated. 

DRAINAGE. 

Whenever  one  or  more  owners  or  occupants  of  land  desire  to  construct 
a  drain  or  ditch  across  the  land  of  others  for  agricultural  or  sanitary  pur- 
poses, the  proceedings  are  as  follows  : 

1st.  File  a  petition  with  the  clerk  of  the  town  hoard  of  auditors  in 
counties  where  there  is  township  organization,  or  in  counties  not  so 
organized  with  the  clerk  of  the  County  Court,  stating  the  necessity  of  the 


58  ABSTRACT   OF   ILLINOIS   STATE   LAWS. 

same,  its  starting  point,  route  and  terminus  ;  and  if  it  shall  be  deemed 
necessary  for  successful  drainage  that  a  levee  or  other  work  be  constructed, 
a  general  description  of  the  same  shall  be  made. 

2d.  After  filing^  tioo  weeks''  notice  must  be  given  by  posting  notices 
in  three  of  the  most  public  places  in  such  township  through  which  the 
drain,  ditch  or  other  work  is  proposed  to  be  constructed  ;  and  also,  by 
publishing  a  copy  thereof  in  some  newspaper  published  in  the  county  in 
which  petition  is  filed,  at  least  once  each  week  for  two  successive  weeks. 
The  notice  must  state  when  and  before  what  board  such  petition  is  filed, 
the  starting  point,  route,  terminus  and  description  of  the  proposed  work. 
On  receipt  of  the  petition  by  the  clerk  of  either  board  as  before  men- 
tioned, it  is  his  duty  to  immediately  give  notice  to  the  board  of  which  he 
is  clerk,  of  the  fact,  and  that  a  meeting  of  the  board  will  be  held  on  a  day 
to  be  fixed  not  later  than  sixty  days  after  the  filing  of  said  petition,  to 
consider  the  prayer  of  the  same  ;  and  it  is  further  the  duty  of  the  clerk, 
to  publish  a  notice  of  the  filing  of  the  petition  and  the  meeting  of  the 
board  to  consider  it,  by  posting  the  same  in  the  three  most  public  places 
in  the  township  or  county.  On  the  hearing,  all  parties  may  contest  the 
matter,  and  if  it  shall  appear  to  the  board  that  the  work  contemplated  is 
necessary,  or  is  useful  for  the  drainage  of  the  land  for  agricultural  and 
sanitary  purposes,  they  shall  so  find  and  shall  file  their  petition  in  the 
County  Court,  reciting  the  original  petition  and  stating  their  finding,  and 
pray  that  the  costs  of  the  improvement  be  assessed,  and  for  that  purpose 
three  commissioners  be  appointed  to  lay  out  and  construct  the  work.  The 
costs  of  the  hearing  before  the  town  board  is  to  be  paid  by  the  petitioners. 
After  commissioners  are  appointed,  they  organize  and  proceed  to  examine 
the  work ;  and  if  they  find  the  benefits  greater  than  the  cost  and  expense 
of  the  work,  then  it  is  their  duty  to  have  the  surveyor's  plans  and  speci- 
fications made,  and  when  done  report  the  same  to  the  court,  before  which 
parties  can  be  heard  prior  to  confirmation.  The  commissioners  are  not 
confined  to  the  route  or  plan  of  the  petition,  but  may  change  the  same. 
After  report  of  commissioners  is  confirmed,  then  a  jury  assess  the  damages 
and  benefits  against  the  land  damaged  or  benefited. 

As  it  is  only  contemplated  in  a  work  of  this  kind  to  give  an  abstract 
of  the  laws,  and  as  the  parties  who  have  in  charge  the  execution  of  the 
further  proceedings  are  likely  to  be  familiar  with  the  requirements  of  the 
statute,  the  necessary  details  are  not  here  inserted. 

PAUPERS. 

Every  poor  person  who  shall  be  unable  to  earn  a  livelihood  in  conse- 
quence of  any  bodily  infirmity,  idiocy,  lunacy  or  unavoidable  cause,  shall 
be  supported  by  the  father,  grand-father,  mother,  grand-mother,  children, 
grand-children,  brothers  or  sisters  of  such  poor  person,  if  they  or  either 


ABSTRACT   OF   ILLINOIS   STATE   LAWS.  69 

of  them  be  of  sufficient  ability ;  but  if  any  of  such  dependent  class  shall 
have  become  so  from  intemperance^  or  other  had  conduct^  they  shall  not  be 
entitled  to  support  from  any  relation  except  parent  or  child. 

The  children  shall  first  be  called  on  to  support  their  parents,  if  they 
are  able  ;  but  if  not,  the  parents  of  such  poor  person  shall  tlien  be  called 
on,  if  of  sufficient  ability;  and  if  there  be  no  parents  or  cliildren  able, 
then  the  brothers  and  sisters  of  such  dependent  person  shall  be  called 
upon  ;  and  if  there  be  no  brothers  or  sisters  of  sufficient  ability,  the 
grand-children  of  such  person  shall  next  be  called  on ;  and  if  they  are 
not  able,  then  the  grand-parents.  Married  females,  while  their  husbands 
live,  shall  not  be  liable  to  contribute  for  the  support  of  their  poor  relations 
except  out  of  their  separate  property.  It  is  the  duty  of  the  state's 
(county)  attorney,  to  make  complaint  to  the  County  Court  of  his  county 
against  all  the  relatives  of  such  paupers  in  this  state  liable  to  his  support 
and  prosecute  the  same.  In  case  the  state's  attorney  neglects,  or  refuses,  to 
complain  in  such  cases,  then  it  is  the  duty  of  the  overseer  of  the  poor  to 
do  so.  The  person  called  upon  to  contribute  shall  have  at  least  ten  days' 
notice  of  such  application  by  summons.  The  court  has  the  power  to 
determine  the  kind  of  support,  depending  upon  the  circumstances  of  the 
parties,  and  may  also  order  two  or  more  of  the  different  degrees  to  main- 
tain such  poor  person,  and  prescribe  the  proportion  of  each,  according  to 
their  ability.  The  court  may  specify  the  time  for  which  the  relative  shall 
contribute — in  fact  has  control  over  the  entire  subject  matter,  with  power 
to  enforce  its  orders.  Every  county  (except  those  in  which  the  poor  are 
supported  by  the  towns,  and  in  such  cases  the  towns  are  liable)  is  required 
to  relieve  and  support  all  poor  and  indigent  persons  laivfully  resident 
therein.  Residence  means  the  actual  residence  of  the  party,  or  the  place 
where  he  was  employed ;  or  in  case  he  was  in  no  employment,  then  it 
shall  be  the  place  where  he  made  his  home.  When  any  person  becomes 
chargeable  as  a  pauper  in  any  county  or  town  who  did  not  reside  at  the 
commencement  of  six  months  immediately  preceding  his  becoming  so, 
but  did  at  that  time  reside  in  some  other  county  or  town  in  this  state, 
then  the  county  or  town,  as  the  case  may  be,  becomes  liable  for  the  expense 
of  taking  care  of  such  person  until  removed,  and  it  is  the  duty  of  the 
overseer  to  notify  the  proper  authorities  of  the  fact.  If  any  person  shall 
bring  and  leave  any  pauper  in  any  county  in  this  state  where  such  pauper 
had  no  legal  residence,  knowing  him  to  be  such,  he  is  liable  to  a  fine  of 
f  100.  In  counties  under  township  organization,  the  supervisors  in  each 
town  are  ex-officio  overseers  of  the  poor.  The  overseers  of  the  poor  act 
under  the  directions  of  the  County  Board  in  taking  care  of  the  poor  and 
granting  of  temporary  relief;  also,  providing  for  non-resident  persons  not 

'  paupers  who  may  be  taken  sick  and  not  able  to  pay  their  way,  and  in  case 

^  of  death  cause  such  person  to  be  decently  buried.

FENCES. 

In  counties  under  township  organization,  the  town  assessor  and  com- 
missioner of  highways  are  the  fence-viewers  in  their  respective  towns. 
In  other  counties  the  County  Board  appoints  three  in  each  precinct  annu- 
ally. A  lawful  fp.nce  is  four  and  one-half  feet  high,  in  good  repair,  con- 
sisting of  rails,  timber,  boards,  stone,  hedges,  or  whatever  the  fence- 
viewers  of  the  town  or  precinct  where  the  same  shall  lie,  shall  consider 
equivalent  thereto,  but  in  counties  under  township  organization  the  annual 
town  meeting  may  establish  any  other  kind  of  fence  as  such,  or  the  County 
BoA,rd  in  other  counties  may  do  the  same.  Division  fences  shall  be  made 
and  maintained  in  just  proportion  by  the  adjoining  owners,  except  when 
the  owner  shall  choose  to  let  his  land  lie  open,  but  after  a  division  fence  is 
built  by  agreement  or  otherwise,  neither  party  can  remove  his  part  of  such 
fence  so  long  as  he  may  crop  or  use  such  land  for  farm  purposes,  or  without 
giving  the  other  party  one  year's  notice  in  writing  of  his  intention  to  remove 
his  portion.  When  any  person  shall  enclose  his  land  upon  the  enclosure 
of  another,  he  shall  refund  the  owner  of  the  adjoining  lands  a  just  pro- 
portion of  the  value  at  that  time  of  such  fence.  The  value  of  fence  and 
the  just  proportion  to  be  paid  or  built  and  maintained  by  each  is  to  be 
ascertained  by  two  fence-viewers  in  the  town  or  precinct.  Such  fence- 
viewers  have  power  to  settle  all  disputes  between  different  owners  as  to 
fences  built  or  to  be  built,  as  well  as  to  repairs  to  be  made.  Each  party 
chooses  one  of  the  viewers,  but  if  the  other  party  neglects,  after  eight 
days'  notice  in  writing,  to  make  his  choice,  then  the  other  party  may 
select  both.  It  is  sufficient  to  notify  the  tenant  or  party  in  possession, 
when  the  owner  is  not  a  resident  of  the  town  or  precinct.  The  two 
fence-viewers  chosen,  after  viewing  the  premises,  shall  hear  the  state- 
ments of  the  parties ,  in  case  they  can't  agree,  they  shall  select  another 
fence-viewer  to  act  with  them,  and  the  decision  of  any  two  of  them  is 
final.  The  decision  must  be  reduced  to  writing,  and  should  plainly  set 
out  description  of  fence  and  all  matters  settled  by  them,  and  must  be 
filed  in  the  office  of  the  town  clerk  in  counties  under  township  organiza- 
tion, and  in  other  counties  with  the  county  clerk. 

Where  any  person  is  liable  to  contribute  to  the  erection  or  the 
repairing  of  a  division  fence,  neglects  or  refuses  so  to  do,  the  party 
injured,  after  giving  sixty  days  notice  in  writing  when  a  fence  is  to  be 
erected,  or  ten  days  when  it  is  only  repairs,  may  proceed  to  have  the 
work  done  at  the  expense  of  the  party  whose  duty  it  is  to  do  it,  to  be 
recovered  from  him  with  costs  of  suit,  and  the  party  so  neglecting  shall 
also  be  liable  to  the  party  injured  for  all  damages  accruing  from  such 
neglect  or  refusal,  to  be  determined  by  any  two  fence-viewers  selected 
as  before  provided,  the  appraisement  to  be  reduced  to  writing  and  signed.

ABSTllACT   OF  ILLINOIS   STATE  LAWS.  61 

Where  a  person  shall  conclude  to  remove  his  part  of  a  division  fence, 
and  let  his  land  lie  open,  and  having  given  the  year's  notice  required,  the 
adjoining  owner  may  cause  the  value  of  said  fence  to  be  ascertained  b}- 
fence-viewers  as  before  provided,  and  on  payment  or  tender  of  the 
amount  of  such  valuation  to  the  owner,  it  shall  prevent  the  removal.  A 
party  removing  a  division  fence  without  notice  is  liable  for  the  damages 
accruing  thereby. 

AVhere  a  fence  has  been  built  on  the  land  of  another  through  mis- 
take, the  owner  may  enter  upon  such  premises  and  remove  his  fence  and 
material  within  six  months  after  the  division  line  has  been  ascertained. 
Where  the  material  to  build  such  a  fence  has  been  taken  from  the  land 
on  which  it  was  built,  then  before  it  can  be  removed,  the  person  claiming 
must  first  pay  for  such  material  to  the  owner  of  the  land  from  which  it 
was  taken,  nor  shall  such  a  fence  be  removed  at  a  time  when  the  removal 
will  throw  open  or  expose  the  crops  of  the  other  party ;  a  reasonable 
time  must  be  given  beyond  the  .six  months  to  remove  crops. 

The  compensation  of  fence-viewers  is  one  dollar  and  fifty  cents  a 
day  each,  to  be  paid  in  the  first  instance  by  the  party  calling  them,  but 
in  the  end  all  expenses,  including  amount  charged  by  the  fence-viewers, 
must  be  paid  equally  b}'^  the  parties,  except  in  cases  where  a  party  neglects 
or  refuses  to  make  or  maintain  a  just  proportion  of  a  division  fence,  when 
the  party  in  default  shall  pay  them. 

DAMAGES  FROM  TRESPASS. 

Where  stock  of  any  kind  breaks  into  any  person's  enclosure,  the 
fence  being  good  and  sufficient,  the  owner  is  liable  for  the  damage  done  ; 
but  where  the  damage  is  done  by  stock  running  at  large,  contrary  to  law, 
the  owner  is  liable  where  there  is  not  such  a  fence.  Where  stock  is 
found  trespassing  on  the  enclosure  of  another  as  aforesaid,  the  owner  oi 
occupier  of  the  premises  may  take  possession  of  such  stock  and  keep  the 
same  until  damages,  with  reasonable  charges  for  keeping  and  feeding  and 
all  costs  of  suit,  are  paid.  Any  person  taking  or  rescuing  such  stock  so 
held  without  his  consent,  shall  be  liable  to  a  fine  of  not  less  than  three 
nor  more  than  five  dollars  for  each  animal  rescued,  to  be  recovered  by 
suit  before  a  justice  of  the  peace  for  the  use  of  the  school  fund.  Within 
twenty-four  hours  after  taking  such  animal  into  his  possession,  the  per- 
son taking  it  up  must  give  notice  of  the  fact  to  the  owner,  if  known,  or 
if  unknown,  notices  must  be  posted  in  some  public  place  near  the  premises. 

LANDLORD  AND  TENANT. 

The  owner  of  lands,  or  his  legal  representatives,  can  sue  for  and 
recover  rent  therefor,  in  any  of  the  following  cases  : 

First.     When  rent  is  due  and  in  arrears  on  a  lease  for  life  or  lives, 

5 


62  ABSTRACT   OF  ILLINOIS   STATE  LAWS. 

Second.  When  lands  are  held  and  occupied  by  any  person  without 
any  special  agreement  for  rent. 

Third.  When  possession  is  obtained  under  an  agreement,  written 
or  verbal,  for  the  purchase  of  the  premises  and  before  deed  given,  the 
right  to  possession  is  terminated  by  forfeiture  on  con-compliance  with  the 
agreement,  and  possession  is  wrongfully  refused  or  neglected  to  be  given 
upon  demand  made  in  writing  by  the  party  entitled  thereto.  Provided 
that  all  payments  made  by  the  vendee  or  his  representatives  or  assigns, 
may  be  set  off  against  the  rent. 

Fourth.  When  land  has  been  sold  upon  a  judgment  or  a  decree  of 
court,  when  the  party  to  such  judgment  or  decree,  or  person  holding  under 
him,  wrongfully  refuses,  or  neglects,  to  surrender  possession  of  the  same, 
after  demand  in  writing  by  the  person  entitled  to  the  possession. 

Fifth.  When  the  lands  have  been  sold  upon  a  mortgage  or  trust 
deed,  and  the  mortgagor  or  grantor  or  person  holding  under  him,  wrong- 
fully refuses  or  neglects  to  surrender  possession  of  the  same,  after  demand 
in  writing  by  the  person  entitled  to  the  possession. 

If  any  tenant,  or  any  person  who  shall  come  into  possession  from  or 
under  or  by  collusion  with  such  tenant,  shall  willfully  hold  over  any  lands, 
etc.,  after  the  expiration  the  term  of  their  lease,  and  after  demand  made 
in  writing  for  the  possession  thereof,  is  liable  to  pay  double  rent.  A 
tenancy  from  year  to  year  requires  sixty  days  notice  in  writing,  to  termi- 
nate the  same  at  the  end  of  the  year ;  such  notice  can  be  given  at  any 
time  within  four  months  preceding  the  last  sixty  days  of  the  year. 

A  tenancy  by  the  month,  or  less  than  a  year,  where  the  tenant  holds 
over  without  an}'  special  agreement,  the  landlord  may  terminate  the 
tenancy,  by  thirty  days  notice  in  writing. 

When  rent  is  due,  the  landlord  may  serve  a  notice  upon  the  tenant, 
stating  that  unless  the  rent  is  paid  within  not  less  than  five  days,  his  lease 
will  be  terminated  ;  if  the  rent  is  not  paid,  the  landlord  may  consider  the 
lease  ended.  When  default  is  made  in  any  of  the  terms  of  a  lease,  it 
shall  not  be  necessary  to  give  more  than  ten  days  notice  to  quit  or  of  the 
termination  of  such  tenancy ;  and  the  same  may  be  terminated  on  giving 
such  notice  to  quit,  at  any  time  after  such  default  in  any  of  the  terms  of 
such  lease  ;  which  notice  may  be  substantially  in  the  following  form,  viz: 

To ,  You  are  hereby  notified  that,  in  consequence  of  your  default 

in  (here  insert  the  character  of  the  default),  of  the  premises  now  occupied 
by  you,  being  etc.  (here  describe  the  premises),  I  have  elected  to  deter- 
mine your  lease,  and  you  are  hereby  notified  to  quit  and  deliver  up  pos- 
session of  the  same  to  me  within  ten  days  of  this  date  (dated,  etc.) 

The  above  to  be  signed  by  the  lessor  or  his  agent,  and  no  other  notice 
or  demand  of  possession  or  termination  of  such  tenancy  is  necessary. 

Demand  may  be  made,  or  notice  served,  by  delivering  a  written  or 


ABSTRACT   OF   ILLESTOIS   STATE   LAWS.  63 

printed,  or  partly  either,  copy  thereof  to  the  tenant,  or  leaving  the  same 
with  some  person  above  the  age  of  twelve  years  residing  on  or  in  posses- 
sion of  the  premises ;  and  in  ease  no  one  is  in  the  actual  possession  of  the 
said  premises,  then  by  posting  the  same  on  the  premises.  When  the 
tenancy  is  for  a  certain  time,  and  the  term  expu-es  by  the  terms  of  the 
lease,  the  tenant  is  then  bound  to  surrender  possession,  and  no  notice 
to  quit  or  demand  of  possession  is  necessary. 

Distress  for  rent. — In  all  cases  of  distress  for  rent,  the  landlord,  by 
himself,  his  agent  or  attorney,  may  seize  for  rent  any  personal  property  of 
his  tenant  that  may  be  found  in  the  county  where  the  tenant  resides ;  the 
property  of  any  other  person,  even  if  found  on  the  premises,  is  not 
liable. 

An  inventor}^  of  the  property  levied  upon,  with  a  statement  of  the 
amount  of  rent  claimed,  should  be  at  once  filed  with  some  justice  of  the 
peace,  if  not  over  $200 ;  and  if  above  that  sum,  with  the  clerk  of  a  court 
of  record  of  competent  jurisdiction.  Property  may  be  released,  by  the 
party  executing  a  satisfactory  bond  for  double  the  amount. 

The  landlord  ma}^  distrain  for  rent,  any  time  within  six  months  after 
the  expiration  of  the  term  of  the  lease,  or  when  terminated. 

When  rent  is  payable  wholly  or  in  part,  in  specific  articles  of  pro- 
perty, or  products  of  the  premises,  or  labor,  the  landlord  may  distrain  for 
the  value  of  the  same. 

Landlords  have  a  lien  upon  the  crops  grown  or  growing  upon  the 
demised  premises  for  the  rent  thereof,  and  also  for  the  faithful  performance 
of  the  terms  of  the  lease. 

In  all  cases  where  the  premises  rented  shall  be  sub-let,  or  the  lease 
assigned,  the  landlord  shall  have  the  same  right  to  enforce  lien  against 
such  lessee  or  assignee,  that  he  has  against  the  tenant  to  whom  the  pre- 
mises were  rented. 

When  a  tenant  abandons  or  removes  from  the  premises  or  any  part 
thereof,  the  landlord,  or  his  agent  or  attorney,  may  seize  upon  any  grain 
or  other  crops  grown  or  growing  upon  the  premises,  or  part  thereof  so 
abandoned,  whether  the  rent  is  due  or  not.  If  such  grain,  or  other  crops, 
or  any  part  thereof,  is  not  fully  grown  or  matured,  the  landlord,  or  his 
agent  or  attorney,  shall  cause  the  same  to  be  properly  cultivated,  harvested 
or  gathered,  and  may  sell  the  same,  and  from  the  proceeds  pay  all  his 
labor,  expenses  and  rent.  The  tenant  may,  before  the  sale  of  such  pro- 
perty, redeem  the  same  by  tendering  the  rent  and  reasonable  compensation 
for  work  done,  or  he  may  replevy  the  same. 

Exemption. — The  same  articles  of  personal  property  which  are  bylaw 
exempt  from  execution,  except  the  crops  as  above  stated,  is  also  exempt 
from  distress  for  rent.

LIENS. 

Any  person  who  shall  by  contract^  express  or  implied,  or  partly  both, 
with  the  owner  of  any  lot  or  tract  of  land,  furnish  labor  or  material,  or 
services  as  an  architect  or  superintendent,  in  building,  altering,  repairing 
or  ornamenting  any  house  or  other  building  or  appurtenance  thereto  on 
such  lot,  or  upon  any  street  or  alley,  and  connected  with  such  improve- 
ments, shall  have  a  lien  upon  the  whole  of  such  lot  or  tract  of  land,  and 
upon  such  house  or  building  and  appurtenances,  for  the  amount  due  to 
him  for  such  labor,  material  or  services.  If  the  contract  is  expressed,  and 
the  time  for  the  completion  of  the  work  is  beyond  three  years  from  the  com- 
mencement thereof;  or,  if  the  time  of  payment  is  beyond  one  year  from 
the  time  stipulated  for  the  completion  of  the  work,  then  no  lien  exists. 
If  the  contract  is  implied,  then  no  lien  exists,  unless  the  work  be  done  or 
material  is  furnished  within  one  year  from  the  commencement  of  the  work 
or  delivery  of  the  materials.  As  between  different  creditors  having  liens, 
no  preference  is  given  to  the  one  whose  contract  was  first  made  ;  but  each 
shares  pro-rata.  Incumbrances  existing  on  the  lot  or  tract  of  the  land  at 
the  t4me  the  contract  is  made,  do  not  operate  on  the  improvements,  and 
are  only  preferred  to  the  extent  of  the  value  of  the  land  at  the  time  of 
making  the  contract.  The  above  lien  can  not  be  enforced  unless  suit  is 
commenced  within  six  months  after  the  last  payment  for  labor  or  materials 
shall  have  become  due  and  payable.  Sub-contractors,  mechanics,  workmen 
and  other  persons  furnishing  any  material,  or  performing  any  labor  for  a 
contractor  as  before  specified,  have  a  lien  to  the  extent  of  the  amount  due 
the  contractor  at  the  time  the  following  notice  is  served  upon  the  owner 
of  the  land  who  made  the  contract : 

To ,  You  are  hereby  notified,  that  I  have  been  employed  by- 


(here  state  whether  to  labor  or  furnish  material,  and  substantially  the 
nature  of  the  demand)  upon  your  (here  state  in  general  terms  description 
and  situation  of  building),  and  that  I  shall  hold  the  (building,  or  as  the 
case  may  be),  and  your  interest  in  the  ground,  liable  for  the  amount  that 

may  (is  or  may  become)  due  me  on  account  thereof.     Signature, 

Date, 

If  there  is  a  contract  in  writing  between  contractor  and  sub-contractor, 
a  copy  of  it  should  be  served  with  above  notice,  and  said  notice  must  be 
served  within  forty  days  from  the  completion  of  such  sub-contract,  if  there 
is  one  ;  if  not,  then  from  the  time  payment  should  have  been  made  to  the 
person  performing  the  labor  or  furnishing  the  material.  If  the  owner  is 
not  a  resident  of  the  county,  or  can  not  be  found  therein,  then  the  above 
notice  must  be  filed  with  the  clerk  of  the  Circuit  Court,  with  his  fee,  fifty 
cents,  and  a  copy  of  said  notice  must  be  published  in  a  newspaper  pub- 
lished iu  the  county,  for  four  successive  weeks. 


ABSTRACT   OF  rLLINOIS   STATE   LAWS.  65 

When  the  owner  or  agent  is  notified  as  above,  he  can  retain  any 
money  due  the  contractor  sufficient  to  pay  such  claim  ;  if  more  than  one 
claim,  and  not  enough  to  pay  all,  they  are  to  be  paid  pro  rata. 

The  owner  has  the  right  to  demand  in  writing,  a  statement  of  the 
contractor,  of  what  he  owes  for  labor,  etc.,  from  time  to  time  as  the  work 
progresses,  and  on  his  failure  to  comply,  forfeits  to  the  owner  $50  for 
every  offense. 

The  liens  referred  to  cover  any  and  all  estates,  whether  in  fee  for 
life,  for  years,  or  any  other  interest  which  the  owner  may  have. 

To  enforce  the  lien  of  sub-contractors,  suit  must  be  commenced  within 
three  months  from  the  time  of  the  performance  of  the  sub-contract,  or 
during  the  work  or  furnishing  materials. 

Hotel,  inn  and  boarding-house  keepers,  have  a  lien  upon  the  baggage 
and  other  valuables  of  their  guests  or  boarders,  brought  into  such  hotel, 
inn  or  boarding-house,  by  their  guests  or  boarders,  for  the  proper  charges 
due  from  such  guests  or  boarders  for  their  accommodation,  board  and 
lodgings,  and  such  extras  as  are  furnished  at  their  request. 

Stable-keepers  and  other  persons  have  a  lien  upon  the  horses,  car- 
riages and  harness  kept  by  them,  for  the  proper  charges  due  for  the  keep- 
ing thereof  and  expenses  bestowed  thereon  at  the  request  of  the  owner 
or  the  person  having  the  possession  of  the  same. 

Agisters  (persons  who  take  care  of  cattle  belonging  to  others),  and 
persons  keeping,  yarding,  feeding  or  pasturing  domestic  animals,  shall 
have  a  lien  upon  the  animals  agistered,  kept,  yarded  or  fed,  for  the  proper 
charges  due  for  such  service. 

All  persons  who  may  furnish  any  railroad  corporation  in  this  state 
with  fuel,  ties,  material,  supplies  or  any  other  article  or  thing  necessary 
for  the  construction,  maintenance,  operation  or  repair  of  its  road  by  con- 
tract, or  may  perform  work  or  labor  on  the  same,  is  entitled  to  be  paid  as 
part  of  the  current  expenses  of  the  road,  and  have  a  lien  upon  all  its  pro- 
perty. Sub-contractors  or  laborers  have  also  a  lien.  The  conditions  and 
limitations  both  as  to  contractors  and  sub-contractors,  are  about  the  same 
as  herein  stated  as  to  general  liens.

means  that  the  person  who  sells  the  wheat  has  the  privilege  of  delivering 
it  at  any  time  during  the  month  of  June. 

Selling  short,  is  contracting  to  deliver  a  certain  amount  of  grain  or 
stock,  at  a  fixed  price,  within  a  certain  length  of  time,  when  the  seller 
has  not  the  stock  on  hand.  It  is  for  the  interest  of  the  person  selling 
"short,"  to  depress  the  market  as  much  as  possible,  in  order  that  he  may- 
buy  and  fill  his  contract  at  a  profit.  Hence  the  "  shorts  "  are  termed 
"  bears." 

Buying  long,  is  to  contract  to  purchase  a  certain  amount  of  grain  or 
shares  of  stock  at  a  fixed  price,  deliverable  within  a  stipulated  time, 
expecting  to  make  a  profit  by  the  rise  of  prices.  The  "longs"  are 
termed  "bulls,"  as  it  is  for  their  interest  to  "  operate  "  so  as  to  "toss" 
the  prices  upward  as  much  as  possible. 

NOTES. 

Form  of  note  is  legal,  worded  in  the  simplest  way,  so  that  the 
amount  and  time  of  pa3^ment  are  mentioned.

ARTICLES  OF  AGREEMENT. 

An  agreement  is  wliere  one  party  promises  to  another  to  do  a  certain 
thing  in  a  certain  time  for  a  stipulated  sum.  Good  business  men  always 
reduce  an  agreement  to  writing,  which  nearly  always  saves  misunder- 
standings and  trouble.  No  particular  form  is  necessary,  but  the  facts  must 
be  clearly  and  explicitly  stated,  and  there  must,  to  make  it  valid,  be  a 
reasonable  consideration. 

GENERAL  FORM  OF  AGREEMENT. 

This  Agreement,  made  the  Second  day  of  October,  1876,  between 
John  Jones,  of  Aurora,  County  of  Kane,  State  of  Illinois,  of  the  first  part,

ment of  the  party  of  the  second  part,  hereinafter  contained,  contracts  and

good  and  marketable  condition,  at  the  Village  of  Batavia,  111.,  during  the 
month  of  November,  of  this  year.  One  Hundred  Tons  of  Prairie  Hay,  in 
the  following  lots,  and  at  the  following  specified  times ;  namely,  twenty- 
five  tons  by  the  seventh  of  November,  twenty-five  tons  additional  by  the 
fourteenth  of  the  montli,  twenty-five  tons  more  by  the  twenty -first,  and 
the  entire  one  hundred  tons  to  be  all  delivered  by  the  thirtieth  of 
November. 

And  the  said  Thomas  Whiteside,  in  consideration  of  the  prompt 
fulfillment  of  this  contract,  on  the  part  of  the  party  of  the  first  part, 
contracts  to  and  agrees  with  the  said  John  Jones,  to  pay  for  said  hay  five 
dollars  per  ton,  for  each  Um  as  soon  as  delivered. 

In  case  of  failure  of  agreement  by  either  of  the  parties  hereto,  it  is 
hereby  stipulated  and  agreed  that  the  party  so  failing  shall  pay  to  the 
other.  One  Hundred  Dollars,  as  fixed  and  settled  damages. 

In  witness  whereof,  we  have  hereunto  set  our  hands  the  day  and 
year  first  above  written.  John  Jones,

fied copy  made  by  the  recorder,  received  as  evidence  of  such  an  incorpo- 
ration. 

Wo  certificate  of  election  after  the  first  need  he  filed  for  record. 

The  term  of  office  of  the  trustees  and  the  general  government  of  the 
society  can  be  determined  by  the  rules  or  by-laws  adopted.  Failure  to 
elect  trustees  at  the  time  provided  does  not  work  a  dissolution,  but  the 
old  trustees  hold  over.  A  trustee  or  trustees  may  be  removed,  in  the 
same  manner  by  the  society  as  elections  are  held  by  a  meeting  called  for 
that  purpose.  The  property  of  the  society  vests  in  the  corporation.  The 
corporation  may  hold,  or  acquire  by  purchase  or  otherwise,  land  not 
exceeding  ten  acres,  for  the  purpose  of  the  society.  The  trustees  have 
the  care,  custody  and  control  of  the  property  of  the  corporation,  and  can, 
when  directed  by  the  society,  erect  houses  or  improvements,  and  repair 
and  alter  the  same,  and  may  also  when  so  directed  by  the  society, 
mortgage,  encumber,  sell  and  convey  any  real  or  personal  estate  belonging 
to  the  corporation,  and  make  all  proper  contracts  in  the  name  of  such 
corporation.  But  the}''  are  prohibited  by  law  from  encumbering  or  inter- 
fering with  any  property  so  as  to  destroy  the  effect  of  any  gift,  grant, 
devise  or  bequest  to  the  corporation ;  but  such  gifts,  grants,  devises  or 
bequests,  must  in  all  cases  be  used  so  as  to  carry  out  the  object  intended 
by  the  persons  making  the  same.  Existing  societies  may  organize  in  the 
manner  herein  set  forth,  and  have  all  the  advantages  thereof. 

SUGGESTIONS  TO  THOSE  PURCHASING  BOOKS  BY  SUBSCRIPTION. 

The  business  of  publishing  boojcs  hy  subscription  having  so  often  been 
brought  into  disrepute  by  agents  making  representations  and  declarations 
not  authorized  by  the  publisher  ;  in  order  to  prevent  that  as  much  as  possi- 
ble, and  that  there  may  be  more  general  knowledge  of  the  relation  such 
agents  bear  to  their  principal,  and  the  law  governing  such  cases,  the  fol- 
lowing statement  is  made  : 

A  subscription  is  in  the  nature  of  a  contract  of  mutual  promises,  by 
which  the  subscriber  agrees  to  pay  a  certain  sum  for  the  work  described ;

and  not  the  too  often  exaggerated  statements  of  the  agents  who  is  merely 
employed  to  solicit  subscriptions,  for  which  he  is  usually  paid  a  commission 
for  each  subscriber,  and  has  no  authority  to  change  or  alter  the  conditions 
upon  which  the  subscriptions  are  authorized  to  be  made  by  the  publisher. 
Should  the  agent  assume  to  agree  to  make  the  subscription  conditional  or 
modify  or  change  the  agreement  of  the  publisher,  as  set  out  by  prospectus 
and  sample,  in  order  to  bind  the  principal,  the  subscriber  should  see  that 
such  conditions  or  changes  are  stated  over  or  in  connection  with  his  signa- 
ture, so  that  the  publisher  may  have  notice  of  the  same. 

All  persons  making  contracts  in  reference  to  matters  of  this  kind,  or 
any  other  business,  should  remember  that  the  law  as  to  written  contracts  is, 
that  they  can  not  be  varied,  altered  or  rescinded  verbally,  but  if  done  at  all, 
must  be  done  in  writing.  It  is  therefore  important  that  all  persons  contem- 
plating subscribing  should  distinctly  understand  that  all  talk  before  or  after 
the  subscription  is  made,  is  not  admissible  as  evidence,  and  is  no  part  of  the 
contract. 

Persons  employed  to  solicit  subscriptions  are  known  to  the  trade  as 
canvassers.  They  are  agents  appointed  to  do  a  particular  business  in  a 
prescribed  mode,  and  have  no  authority  to  do  it  in  any  other  way  to  the 
prejudice  of  their  principal,  nor  can  they  bind  their  principal  in  any  other 
matter.  They  cannot  collect  money,  or  agree  that  payment  may  be  made 
in  anything  else  but  money.  They  can  not  extend  the  time  of  payment 
beyond  the  time  of  delivery,  nor  bind  their  principal  for  the  payment  of 
expenses  incurred  in  their  buisness. 

It  would  save  a  great  deal  of  trouble,  and  often  serious  loss,  if  persons, 
before  signing  their  names  to  any  subscription  book,  or  any  written  instru- 
ment, would  examine  carefully  -what  it  is  ;  if  they  can  not  read  themselves, 
should  call  on  some  one  disinterested  who  can.

INTEREST  TABLE. 

A  Simple  Rule  for   Accurately  Computl\g    Interest  at  Any   Given    Per  Cent,  for 

Any  Length  of  Time. 
Multiply   the  primipal  (amount  of  money   at   interest)  by  the  time  reduced  to  day<:  '  then 
divide  this  prodiut  by  the  quotient  obtained  by  dividing  360  (the  i.u.nber  of  days  in   the  interest 
year)  by  the  ptr  cent,  of  interest,  and  the  quotient  thus  obtained  will  be  the  required  interest. 


illustration. 
Require  the  interest  of  $462.50  for  one  month  and  eighteen  days  at 
6  per  cent.  An  interest  month  is  30  days  ;  one  month  and  eighteen  days 
equal  48  days.  $462.50  multiplied  by  .48  gives  222,0000;  360  divided 
by  6  (the  per  cent,  of  interest)  gives  60,  and  $222.0000  divided  by  60 
will  give  you  the  exact  interest,  which  is  $3.70.  If  the  rate  of  interest 
in  the  above  example  were  12  pc:r  cent.,  we  would  divide  the  $222.0000 
by  30  (because  360  divided  by  12  gives  30)  ;  if  4  per  cent.,  we  would 
divide  by  90  ;  if  8  per  cent.,  by  45  ;  and  in  like  manner  for  any  other 
per  cent.

CONSTITUTION    OF    THE    UNITED    STATES    OF   AMERICA, 

AND  ITS  AMENDMENTS. 

We,  the  people  of  the  United  States,  in  order  to  form  a  more  perfect  union, 
establish  justice,  insure  do7nestic  tranquillity/,  provide  for  the  common 
defense,  promote  the  general  welfare,  aiid  secure  the  blessings  of  liberty 
to  ourselves  avid  our  posterity,  do  ordain  and  establish  this  Constitution 
for  the  United  States  of  America. 

Article  I. 

Section  1.  All  legislative  powers  herein  granted  shall  be  vested  in 
a  Congress  of  the  United  States,  which  shall  consist  of  a  Senate  and 
House  of  Representatives. 

Sec.  2.  The  House  of  Representatives  shall  be  composed  of  mem- 
bers chosen  every  second  year  by  the  people  of  the  several  states,  and  the 
electors  in  each  state  shall  have  the  qualifications  requisite  for  electors  of 
the  most  numerous  branch  of  the  State  Legislature. 

No  person  shall  be  a  representative  who  shall  not  have  attained  to  the 
age  of  twenty-five  years,  and  been  seven  years  a  citizen  of  the  United 
States,  and  who  shall  not,  when  elected,  be  an  inhabitant  of  that  state  in 
which  he  shall  be  chosen. 

Representatives  and  direct  taxes  shall  be  apportioned  among  the  sev- 
eral states  which  may  be  included  within  this  Union,  according  to  their 
respective  numbers,  which  shall  be  determined  by  adding  to  the  whole 
number  of  free  persons,  including  those  bound  to  service  for  a  term  of 
years,  and  excluding  Indians  not  taxed,  three-fifths  of  all  other  persons. 
The  actual  enumeration  shall  be  made  within  three  years  after  the  first 
meeting  of  the  Congress  of  the  United  States,  and  within  every  subse- 
quent term  of  ten  years,  in  such  manner  as  they  shall  by  law  direct.  The 
number  of  Representatives  shall  not  exceed  one  for  every  thirty  thousand, 
but  each  state  shall  have  at  least  one  Representative  ;  and  until  such 
enumeration  shall  be  made  the  State  of  New  Hampshire  shall  be  entitled 
to  choose  three,  Massachusetts  eight,  Rhode  Island  and  Providence  Plan- 
tations one,  Connecticut  five.  New  York  six,  New  Jersey  four,  Pennsjdva- 
nia  eight,  Delaware  one,  Maryland  six,  Virginia  ten.  North  Carolina  five, 
and  Georgia  three. 

When  vacancies  happen  in  the  representation  from  any  state,  the 
Executive  authority  thereof  shall  issue  writs  of  election  to  fill  such 
vacancies. 

The  House  of  Representatives  shall  choose  their  Speaker  and  other 
officers,  and  shall  have  the  sole  power  of  impeachment. 

Sec.  8.  The  Senate  of  the  United  States  shall  be  composed  of  two 
Senators  from  each  state,  chosen  by  the  Legislature  thereof  for  six  years  ; 
and  each  Senator  shall  have  one  vote. 

Immediately  after  they  shall  be  assembled  in  consequence  of  the  first 
election,  they  shall  be  divided  as  equally  as  may  be  into  three  classes. 
The  seats  of  the  Senatois  of  the  first  class  shall  be  vacated  at  the  expira- 


AND  ITS   AMENDMENTS.  87 

tion  of  the  second  year,  of  the  second  class  at  the  expiration  of  the  fourth 
year,  and  of  the  third  class  at  the  expiration  of  the  sixth  year,  so  that 
one-third  may  be  chosen  every  second  year;  and  if  vacancies  happen  by 
resignation  or  otherwise,  during  the  recess  of  the  Legislature  of  any  state, 
the  Executive  thereof  may  make  temporary  appointments  until  the  next 
meeting  of  the  Legislature,  which  shall  then  fill  such  vacancies. 

No  person  shall  be  a  Senator  who  shall  not  have  attained  to  the  age 
of  thirty  years  and  been  nine  years  a  citizen  of  the  United  States,  and 
who  shall  not,  when  elected,  be  an  inhabitant  of  that  state  for  which  he 
shall  be  chosen. 

The  Vice-President  of  the  United  States  shall  be  President  of  the 
Senate,  but  shall  have  no  vote  unless  they  be  equally  divided. 

The  Senate  shall  choose  their  other  officers,  and  also  a  President  pro 
tempore,  in  the  absence  of  the  Vice-President,  or  when  he  shall  exercise 
the  office  of  President  of  the  Unite<l  States. 

The  Senate  shall  have  the  sole  power  to  try  all  impeachments.  When 
sitting  for  that  purpose  they  shall  be  on  oath  or  affirmation.  When  the 
President  of  the  United  States  is  tried  the  Chief  Justice  shall  preside. 
And  no  person  shall  be  convicted  without  the  concurrence  of  two-thirds 
of  the  members  present. 

Judgment,  in  cases  of  impeachment,  shall  not  extend  further  than  to 
removal  from  office,  and  disqualification  to  hold  and  enjoy  any  office  of 
honor,  trust,  or  profit  under  the  United  States ;  but  the  party  convicted 
shall  nevertheless  be  liable  and  subject  to  indictment,  trial,  judgment, 
and  punishment  according  to  law. 

Sec.  4.  The  times,  places  and  manner  of  holding  elections  for  Sen- 
ators and  Representatives  shall  be  prescribed  in  each  state  by  the  Legis- 
lature thereof;  but  the  Congress  may  at  any  time  by  law  make  or  alter 
such  regulations,  except  as  to  the  places  of  choosing  Senators. 

The  Congress  shall  assemble  at  least  once  in  every  year,  and  such 
meeting  shall  be  on  the  first  Monday  in  December,  unless  they  shall  by 
law  appoint  a  different  day. 

Sec.  5.  Each  house  shall  be  the  judge  of  the  election,  returns,  and 
qualifications  of  its  own  members,  and  a  majority  of  each  shall  constitute 
a  quorum  to  do  business;  but  a  smaller  number  may  adjourn  from  day  to 
day,  and  may  be  authorized  to  compel  the  attendance  of  absent  members 
in  such  manner  and  under  such  penalties  as  each  house  may  provide. 

Each  house  may  determine  the  rules  of  its  proceedings,  punish  its 
members  for  disorderly  behavior,  and,  with  the  concurrence  of  two-thirds, 
expel  a  member. 

Each  house  shall  keep  a  journal  of  its  proceedings,  and  from  time  to 
time  publish  the  same,  excepting  such  parts  as  may,  in  their  judgment, 
require  secrecy  ;  and  the  yeas  and  nays  of  the  members  of  either  house 
on  any  question  shall,  at  the  desire  of  one-fifth  of  those  present,  be  entered 
on  the  journal. 

Neither  house,  during  the  session  of  Congress,  shall,  without  the 
consent  of  the  other,  adjourn  for  more  than  three  days,  nor  to  any  other 
place  than  that  in  which  the  two  houses  shall  be  sitting. 

Sec.  6.  The  Senators  and  Representatives  shall  receive  a  compen- 
sation for  their  services,  to  be  ascertained  by  law,  and  paid  out  of  the 
treasury  of  the  United  States.     They  shall  in  all  cases,  except  treason, 


88  CONSTITUTION  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES 

felony,  and  breach  of  the  peace,  be  privileged  from  arrest  during  their 
attendance  at  the  session  of  their  respective  houses,  and  in  going  to  and 
returning  from  the  same  ;  and  for  any  speech  or  debate  in  either  house 
they  shall  not  be  questioned  in  any  other  place. 

No  Senator  or  Representative  shall,  during  the  time  for  which  he  was 
elected,  be  appointed  to  any  civil  ofiSce  under  the  authority  of  the  United 
States,  which  shall  have  been  created,  or  the  emoluments  whereof  shall 
have  been  increased  during  such  time  ;  and  no  person  holding  an}^  office 
under  the  United  States,  shall  be  a  member  of  either  house  during  his 
continuance  in  office. 

Sec.  7.  All  bills  for  raising  revenue  shall  originate  in  the  House  of 
Representatives ;  but  the  Senate  may  propose  or  concur  with  amendments 
as  on  other  bills. 

Every  bill  which  shall  have  passed  the  House  of  Representatives  and 
the  Senate,  shall,  before  it  becomes  a  law,  be  presented  to  the  President 
of  the  United  States ;  if  he  approve  he  shall  sign  it ;  but  if  not  he  shall

nated, who  shall  enter  the  objections  at  large  on  their  journal,  and 
proceed  to  reconsider  it.  If,  after  such  reconsideration  two-thirds  of  that 
house  shall  agree  to  pass  the  bill,  it  shall  be  sent,  together  with  the  objec- 
tions, to  the  other  house,  by  which  it  shall  likewise  be  reconsidered,  and  if

such  cases  the  votes  of  both  houses  shall  be  determined  by  5  eas  and  nays, 
and  the  names  of  the  persons  voting  for  and  against  the  bill  shall  be  entered

by  the  President  within  ten  days  (Sundays  excepted),  after  it  shall  have 
been  presented  to  him,  the  same  shall  be  a  law,  in  like  manner  as  if  he 
had  signed  it,  unless  the  Congress,  by  their  adjournment,  prevent  its 
return,  in  which  case  it  shall  not  be  a  law. 

Every  order,  resolution,  or  vote  to  which  the  concurrence  of  the 
Senate  and  House  of  Representatives  may  be  necessar}^  (except  on  a 
question  of  adjournment),  shall  be  presented  to  the  President  of  the 
tJnited  States,  and  before  the  same  shall  take  eifect  shall  be  approved  by

[*The  Electors  shall  meet  in  their  respective  states,  and  vote  by

the  same  state  with  themselves.  And  they  shall  make  a  list  of  all  the

dent.]

resignation,  or  inability  to  discharge  the  powers  and  duties  of  the  said 
office,  the  same  shall  devolve  on  the  Vice-Pi^esident,  and  the  Congress 
may  by  law  provide  for  the  case  of  removal,  death,  resignation,  or  inabil- 
ity, both  of  the  President  and  Vice-President,  declaring  what  officer  shall 
then  act  as  President,  and  such  officer  shall  act  accordingly,  until  the  dis- 
ability be  removed,  or  a  President  shall  be  elected.

lowing oath  or  affirmation :

of  such  inferior  officers  as  they  think  proper  in  the  President  alone,  in 
the  courts  of  law,  or  in  the  heads  of  departments. 

The  President  shall  have  power  to  fill  up  all  vacancies  that  may 
happen  during  the  recess  of  the  Senate,  by  granting  commissions  which 
shall  expire  at  the  end  of  their  next  session. 

Sec.  3.  He  shall  from  time  to  time  give  to  the  Congress  information 
of  the  state  of  the  Union,  and  recommend  to  their  consideration  such  mea- 
sures as  he  shall  judge  necessary  and  expedient ;  he  may  on  extraordinary

States;  nor  shall  any  state  deprive  any  person  of  life,  liberty,  or  property, 
without  due  process  of  law,  nor  deny  to  any  person  within  its  jurisdiction 
the  equal  protection  of  the  laws.

History  of  Warren  County. 


TOPOGEAPHY  AND  GEOLOGY. 

[From  Geological  Survey  ly  A.  H.  Green. — 1870.] 

"Warren  county  contains  fifteen  townships,  or  five  hnndred  and  forty 
square  miles.  The  fourth  principal  meridian  passes  along  its  eastern  bor- 
der. It  is  intersected  in  the  northern  part,  from  east  to  west,  by  Main, 
Henderson  and  Cedar  creeks.  South  of  this  there  is  South  Henderson 
creek,  rising  in  township  10  and  running  nearly  west  ;  while  to  the  east 
Sing  Run  rises  in  the  northern  part  of  the  same  township  and  passing 
south  empties  into  Cedar  Fork,  near  the  eastern  part  of  the  county.  Cedar 
Fork  rises  near  the  western  boundary  of  township  9  and  runs  "a  little  to 
the  south  of  east.  South  of  this  is  Nigger  Creek,  of  which  Little  Nigger 
and  Swan  Creek  are  branches.  By  these  and  smaller  streams  the  county  is 
well  watered  and  its  surface  thoroughly  drained. 

Springs  are  not  very  abundant,  but  there  are  some  which  are  large  and 
valuable.  Good  wells  may  usually  be  obtained  at  depths  varying  from  ten 
to  thirty  feet,  but  if  at  the  latter  depth  water  is  not  found,  it  is  generally 
necessary  to  dig  sixty  feet  or  more,  or  through  the  blue  clay  of  the  drift. 

The  greater  part  of  AVarren  county  is  prairie,  but  they  are  seldom  large, 
being  divided  by  the  numerous  streams.  The  soil  is  a  dark  vegetable  loam, 
differing  but  little  in  its  general  character  and  appearance  from  that  of  the 
adjoining  counties.  Along  the  ridges  that  skirt  the  streams  the  soil  is  of 
less  depth,  lighter  colored  and  less  fertile.  The  subsoil  is  a  yellow  or  brown 
clay. 

Much  of  the  land  lying  along  the  water  courses  was  originally  covered 
with  timbei'.  Large  portions  of  this  have  been  cut  off.  The  varieties  of 
timber  here  are  nearly  the  same  as  in  this  part  of  Illinois — principally  the 
common  varieties  of  oak  and  hickory,  with  an  unaergrowth  of  hazel  and 
sumach.  Along  the  slopes  of  the  hills  and  on  the  bottom  lands  of  the 
streams,  in  addition  to  these,  can  be  found  red  and  white  elm,  white,  blue 
and  prickly  ash,  linden,  sycamore,  sugar  and  white  maple,  ash-leaved  maple 
or  box-elder,  black  walnut,  butternut,  buckeye,  Cottonwood,  honey  locust, 
American  aspen,  wild  cherry,  coffee  tree,  hackberry,  mulberry,  ironwood, 
wild  plum,  thorn,  crab  apple,  dogwood  and  red  bud. 

The  alluvial  deposits  of  the  county  are  not  extensive,  being  confined  to 
the  borders  of  the  streams,  and  are  seldom  over  a  half  mile  in  width,  while 
commonly  they  are  less.  The  soil  of  these  bottom  lands  is  very  fertile  and 
consists  of  black  loam,  more  or  less  mixed  with  sand  and  gravel. 

The  coal  measures  underlie  nearly  the  whole  of  Warren  county.  Sum- 
ner and  the  northern  part  of  Hale  township  probably  embraces  the  entire 


102  HISTORY    OF    WAREEN    COUNTY. 

district,  or  nearly  so,  where  coal  is  not  found.  The  coal  measures  comprise, 
in  this  county,  various  stratas  of  shales,  sandstones,  limestones,  clays  and 
coal,  and  attain  a  thickness  in  some  parts  of  from  one  to  two  hundred  feet. 
These  stratas  rest  upon  the  Burlington  limestone,  and  where  this  is  found 
near  the  surface,  or  reached  in  shafting,  no  coal  need  be  looked  for  in  deeper 
explorations. 

The  upper  seam  is  from  three  to  three  and  a  half  feet  in  thickness,  and 
has  been  found  in  few  localities. 

The  next  seam,  No.  2  of  the  Illinois  section,  is  from  one  foot,  eight 
inches,  to  two  feet  thick  in  this  county,  elsewhere  it  attains  a  thickness  of 
from  three  to  live  feet.  Though  thinner,  this  seam  is  more  extensively 
worked  than  either  of  the  others. 

On  sections  14  and  23,  in  township  10,  are  some  valuable  quarries. 
The  rock  is  from  six  to  seven  feet  thick  at  some  of  the  localities  and  the 
whole  of  it  is  thickly  bedded,  so  that  blocks  of  any  desirable  size  can  be 
obtained.  There  are,  however,  large  concretions  of  a  calcareo -arenaceous 
rock,  locally  called  "  flint,"  in  the  sandstones.  One  of  these  was  taken 
from  the  quarry  of  Mr.  J.  Worden,  on  section  14,  that  was  about  two  and 
one-half  feet  thick,  six  to  seven  wide,  and  from  ten  to  twelve  feet  long. 
This  rock  is  very  compact,  hard  enough  to  scratch  glass,  and  in  chloro- 
hydric  acid  eft'ervesces  slightly.  It  is  not  considered  of  any  value,  and.  is 
so  hard  that  when  it  occurs  in  large  masses  it  is  very  expensive  getting  it 
out  of  the  way. 

In  township  8  a  coal  seam  crops  out  for  some  distance  along  Swan  and 
Little  Xiffo^er  creeks.  At  these  localities  mining  has  been  carried  on  for 
years,  and  in  places  the  bluffs  are  almost  honey-combed  by  the  entries,  new 
and  old.  In  some  of  the  mines  the  fire-clay  below  the  coal  is  varied  in 
color,  the  usual  tints  being  a  light  blue,  though  in  some  places  it  is  nearly 
white,  while  in  others  it  is  vellow,  or  vellow  and  red.  The  coals  in  this 
countv  are  mostly  worked  bv  drifts  or  tunnels  driven  horrizontallv  into  the 

t,  tj  %/  *j 

hill-sides  along  the  outcrops  of  the  seams,  and  owing  to  the  shaley  character 
of  the  roof  of  No.  2,  considerable  expense  is  incurred  in  "cribbing"  to 
sustain  the  roof  The  thickness  of  the  coal  is  usually  from  twenty  inches 
to  two  feet,  and  in  driving  the  entries  it  becomes  necessary  to  remove  a 
portion  of  the  roof  shales,  or  the  under-clay,  in  order  to  obtain  the  amount 
of  vertical  space  required  to  take  out  the  coal.  The  lower  seam,  No.  1,  of 
the  Illinois  section,  varies  from  two  to  four  feet  in  this  county.  It  is  gen- 
erally overlaid  by  black  slate,  or  a  dark  colored,  and  frequently  shaley  lime- 
stone. This  forms  a  very  good  roof  and  makes  the  working  of  the  seam 
less  expensive  than  that  of  No.  2,  as,  frequently,  but  little  or  no  cribbing  is 
required. 

A  little  east  of  Monmouth  is  one  of  the  most  extensive  mining  com- 
panies in  the  country.  Coal  of  a  superior  quality  was  found  here,  about 
1871,  and  active  preparations  at  once  commenced  to  mine  at  this  point. 
The  seam  is  about  twenty  inches  in  thickness,  and  was  found  at  a  depth  of 
about  sixty  feet.  A  far  more  valuable  industry,  and  one  which  occupies 
the  almost  entire  attention  of  the  company — The  Monmouth  Mining  and 
Manufacturing  Company — is  that  of  tile  making.  About  thirty  feet  below 
the  coal  seam  a  most  valuable  strata  of  tile  clav  was  found,  and  in  1875, 
active  preparations  were  at  once  made  to  enter  immediately  upon  the 
manufacture  of  this  article.  A  stock  company,  representing  $200,000  cap- 
ital, was  foruied,  and  large  buildings  were  erected  and  supplied  with  the

best  of  machinery.  The  buildings  are  so  arranged  and  heated  that  the 
business  can  be  carried  on  at  all  seasons  of  the  year.  Huge  steam-pi-pes 
permeate  the  entire  structure  and  every  available  foot  of  space  is  ust^d. 
The  company,  of  which  the  officers  are:  Daniel  D.  Parry,  President;  H. 
C.  J^eckwith,  Secretary;  and  J.  S.  ^priggs,  Treasurer,  are  now  making  all 
sizes  of  tile,  from  a  small  two  inch  pipe  used  in  draining  fields  where  the 
supply  of  water  is  small  to  the  manufacture  of  large  sewer  pipes  used  in 
the  drainage  of  cities.  The  utility  and  profit  of  this  material  to  the  farm- 
ing community  can  hardly  be  estimated.  Aside  from  the  increase  in  health 
it  brings  by  carrying  ofi"  all  surplus  wat-  r,  it  yields  the  richest  returns  for 
the  capital  invested.  Fields  which  were  once  considered  useless  and  value- 
less are  made  productive  through  liberal  drainage;  and  swamps, or  ''sloughs," 
as  tliev  are  called  in  the  Western  vernacular,  once  the  source  of  fever  and 
ague  and  all  their  attendant  evils  and  discomforts,  are  drained  of  their  mias- 
mal  waters,  the  sources  of  these  diseases  removed,  and  the  land  made  to 
yield  abundantly.  jS^umerous  instances  could  be  given  wherein  one  dollar 
invested  in  this  article  has  returned  to  the  investor  many  times  its  value  ; 
and  the  intelligent  reader  of  these  pages  has  only  to  turn  his  attention  to 
where  the  practical  results  are  seen  to  verify  this  statement. 

The  tile  made  by  this  company  is  of  an  unexceptional  material,  and  is 
rapidly  finding  its  way  into  all  parts  of  the  West. 

A  few  feet  below  the  strata  of  clay,  an  excellent  fire-clay  was  discovered. 
Heretofore  the  company  was  compelled  to  bring  their  fire-brick,  at  a  heavy 
expense,  from  Ohio,  but  now,  instead  of  purchasing  that  article,  they  have 
an  abundance  for  sale. 

THE  COAL  INTERESTS  OF  THE  COUNTY. 

There  are  reported  by  the  county  surveyor,  Mr.  Thos.  McClanahan, 
twenty-nine  coal  mines  in  Warren  county  in  operation.  These  employ 
from  one  to  twenty  men  each,  or  one  hundred  and  twelve  in  all.  The 
average  thickness  of  the  coal  vein  is  about  thirty  inches  ;  they  range  from 
eighteen  to  forty  inches.  During  the  year  1875,  and  to  March,  1876,  there 
were  mined  in  all  384,740  bushels  ;  the  lowest  product  from  any  one  mine 
being  170  bushels  ;  the  greatest  number  96,000  bushels. 

The  price  for  coal  ranged  from  eight  to  twelve  and  one-half  cents,  the 
total  amount  received  being  $38,374.00.  The  depth  of  the  mines  vary  from 
twenty  to  one  hundred  feet  below  the  surface.  The  cost  of  opening  these 
mines  ranges  from  $25.00  to  $5,000.  The  roofs  of  the  mines  are  generally 
covered  with  soapstone  or  slate,  and  the  bottom  is  principally  fire-clay. 
Th$  escapes  are  nearly  always  abundantly  sufficient,  and  air  in  the  mines 
pure  and  wholesome, 

Burlington  Limestone. — The  beds  of  this  group  immediately  underlie 
the  coal  measures  in  this  county,  wherever  the  junction  of  the  coal  with  the 
underlying  beds  can  be  seen. 

The  Burlington  group  in  Warren  county  consists  mainly  of  light  gray 
and  brown  limestones,  chert  and  calcareous  clay  shale,  and  attains  a  thick- 
ness pf  from  forty  to  fifty  feet.  These  beds  outcrop  along  the  small  streams 
in  the  southern  part  of  township  12.  Section  31,  of  the  same  township, 
furnishes  layers  of  good  building  material  sufiiciently  thick  for  all  ordinary 
purposes.  At  Rockwell's  mill,  on  Cedar  Creek,  the  rock  is  quite  arena- 
ceous. 


106  HISTORY    OF    WARREN    COUNTY. 

On  section  1,  in  township  11,  there  are  extensive  quarries  of  limestone. 
Much  lime  is  burned  here,  and  the  rock  being  nearly  a  pure  corbonate  of 
lime  affords  a  good  article.  Xear  the  middle  of  section  7,  on  Cedar  Creek, 
and  along  a  branch  putting  off"  to  the  southeast  there  are  extensive  quarries 
in  the  bluffs  which  f^up])ly  Monmouth  and  the  adjoining  region  with  large 
quantities  of  excellent  building  material. 

The  Burlington  limestone  furnishes  a  good  article  of  building  sfone, 
and  is  found  along  the  southern  part  of  township  12,  and  in  the  northern  of 
township  11,  in  range  2  and  3  (See  map  in  front  part  of  this  work).  From 
Rockwell's  Mill  for  several  miles  up  Cedar  Creek  the  outcrops  of  these 
beds  form  mural,  or  overhanging  masses. 

The  rock  is  compact  and  dresses  well,  and  some  of  the  layers  afford  a 
stone  susceptible  of  a  good  polish. 

In  section  11  the  sandstone  forms  immense  ledges,  which  in  some 
places  overhang  the  water  ten  or  fifteen  feet.  "  Hock  House,"  as  it  is  called, 
is  in  this  section,  and  was  formed  in  some  past  time,  when  the  bed  of  the 
stream  was  considerably  higher  than  at  present,  by  the  water  cutting 
a  passage  through  a  portion  of  the  lower  strata.  In  the  denuding  process, 
a  large  pillar  ot  sandstone  was  left,  and  now  supports  the  outer  edge  of  the 
upper  strata  which  forms  the  roof. 

Nearly  all  the  outcrops  of  Burlington  limestone  will  afford  abundant 
supplies  of  material  for  lime,  and  being  nearly  pure  carbonate  of  lime,  yields 
an  excellent  article.  Lime  is  extensively  manufactured  in  some  localities. 
Better  facilities  are  being  obtained  for  getting  fuel  to  the  kilns  and  the  manu- 
factured lime  to  market,  thereby  rendering  this  business  an  important 
source  of  wealth  to  some  portions  of  the  county. 

Agriculture. — Warren  county  contains  335,945  acres  of  land,  valued 
at  $8,095,104.  The  whole  immber  of  town  lots  is  4,164;  their  value  is 
$1,063,688.  The  average  value  of  lands  is  $24.10  per  acre,  and  the  average 
value  ot  the  lots  is  $255.45  each.  The  total  value  of  all  property  in  the 
county,  including  personal  property,  is  $12,039,637.  The  county  contains 
only  20,112  acres  unimproved  lands,  and  those  are  valued  at  $181,024, 
showing  there  is  no  worthless  land. 

During  the  year  1875,  there  were  sown  in  wheat  5,879  acres;  in  corn, 
138,870  acres — nearly  one-half  the  area  of  the  county — in  oats,  26,180  ;  in 
meadow,  36,316,  and  in  other  field  products,  5,385  acres.  There  are  20,338 
acres  in  woo.iland,  and  3,644  acres  in  orchards.-  There  were  also  reported 
to  the  county  assessors  12,370  horses,  valued  at  $564,038;  25,154  head  of 
cattle,  valued  at  $389,333;  4,608  sheep,  valued  at  $9,291;  966  mules  and 
asses,  valued  at  $53,448;  48,368  hogs,  valued  at  $231,737.  These  figures 
give  91,466  head  of  live  stock,  whose  entire  value  is  $1,247,847.  There 
were  also  returned  for  taxation  4,318  carriages  and  wagons,  worth  $133,339; 
2,738  clocks  and  watclies,  worth  $L2,720;  1,854  sewing  machines,  worth 
$38,701  ;  586  pianos,  organs  and  melodeons,  worth  $36,18(5  ;  there  are  in 
banks  credit,  money,  bonds  and  stocks,  $626,475.  and  in  addition  to  this 
there  are  held  $228,000  in  bank  stock.  The  entire  personal  property  in 
Warren  county  is  taxed  at  $2,880,845.  Since  the  opening  of  the  C,  B.  Sc  Q. 
R.  li.,  in  1855,  there  have  been  shipped  from  the  county  fifteen  million 
bushels  of  grain,  a  million  head  oi"  live  stock,  and  several  million  dollars 
worth  of  manutactured  machinery. 

Good  improved  farms  are  wo»"th  now  from  $60  to  1 100  per  acre,  and 
the  constant  appearance  of  well-tilled  farms,  of  comfortable  homes,  and  all

the  conveniences  and  comforts  of  life  are  assurances  of  the  wealth  and  ease 
with  which  the  jjreater  portion  of  the  people  are  blessed. 

The  population  is  now,  counting  three  times  the  number  of  persons 
enrolled  in  the  late  school  census,  under  twenty-one  years  of  age,  33,876  ; 
22,584  of  these  are  over  age;  aiid  assuming  the  $12,039,637  to  be  the  value 
of  the  property,  each  one  of  the  latter  class  is  worth  $r>3.31. 

HISTORY. 

In  the  wmter  of  1822  and  1823  the  Legislature  of  the  State  of  Illinois 
laid  out  the  "  Military  Tract,''  situated  between  the  Illinois  and  Mississippi 
rivers,  into  counties,  giving  to  each  a  name,  and  at  the  same  time  formed 
several  other  counties.  At  an  earlier  day  the  ''  Military  Tract,"  and,  indeed, 
all  uorth  and  west  of  the  Illinois  river,  including  the  country  about  Galena, 
was  attached  to  and  lormed  a  part  of  Madison  county,  for  judicial  purposes. 
At  that  session,  however,  Pike  countv  was  formed,  and  the  records  of  lands, 
patents,  &c.,  situated  on  the  Military  Tract,  were  thereafter  recorded  at 
Atlas,  then  the  countv  seat. 

A  subsequent  Legislature  organized  Adams,  Schuyler,  Fulton  and  Pe- 
oria counties,  attaching  to  Schuyler  county  the  new  county  of  McDonough, 
for  judicial  purposes.  During  the  session  of  1824-2.^  the  county  of  AVarren 
was  formed,  comprising  all  chat  part  of  the  Military  Tract  lying  west  of  the 
fourth  principal  meridian,  extending  to  the  Mississippi  river,  and  including 
what  is  now  Henderson  countj-.  It  M'as  named  in  honor  of  General  Joseph 
Warren,  who  so  gallantly  defended  the  country  at  the  commencement  of  the 
Revolutionary  war,  and  who  was  the  first  ofiicer  to  shed  his  life's  blood  in 
that  struggle  which  gave  America  her  independence.  He  was  killed  by  a 
musket  ball  at  the  battle  of  Bunker's  Hill.  As  every  school-boy  knows,  the 
Americans  were  enabled  to  "hold  the  fort"  while  their  ammunition  lasted; 
that  giving  way,  they  slowly  retreated,  Gen.  Warren  being  the  last  to  go. 
As  he  retired  he  turned  to  look  at  the  foe,  and  just  at  that  instant  received 
a  ball  in  his  forehead,  and  sank  dead  to  the  earth.  He  was  thirty-five  years 
of  age  at  the  time. 

The  Legislature  met  at  Yandalia,  then  the  capital  of  the  State,  and  in 
the  Act  forming  the  county  attached  it  to  Pike  countv,  for  judicial  pur- 
poses, until  a  sutficient  number  of  inhabitants  were  within  its  borders  to 
enable  it  to  take  active  existence.     This  did  not  occur  until  June,  1830. 

Late  in  the  spring  of  1827,  some  pioneers  made  their  way  into  the 
county  limits,  and  the  following  year  the  first  g)-ound  was  broken  by  a  plow. 

The  Talbot  family  were  the  earliest  settlers  in  Warren  county.  Mrs. 
Talbot,  mother  of  John  B.  Talbot,  was  some  eighty  years  of  age  when  she 
came.  She  was  born  in  New  England,  but  came  to  Kentuck}-  when  John 
was  born.  After  the  death  of  his  mother  he  married  and  removed  to 
Oregon. 

Allen  G.  Andrews,  a  nephew  of  Mrs.  Talbot,  came  about  the  same 
time.  He  had  been  several  years  in  the  West  Indies,  and  was  quite  a  good 
Spanish  scholar.  He  died  some  years  ago  on  his  farm,  just  north  of  Cedar 
creek.  James  B.  Atwood  settled  on  his  farm  in  1828.  In  June  of  that 
year  he  claimed  to  have  broken  five  acres  of  prairie  and  planted  it  in  corn. 
He  afterwards  went  to  Texas.  Andrew  Robinson  settled  on  the  farm  after- 
wards owned  by  old  Mr.  Terpening.  He  located  again  on  a  farm  about 
seven  miles  north-east  of  Monmouth,  where  he,  in  after  years,  died.    Adam 


108  HISTORY   OF   WARREN   COUNTY. 

Ritchie  (''  Sandy  ")  settled  near  Sugar-Tree  Grove  in  May,  1828.  His  son, 
Rev.  Henderson  Ritchie,  born  December  28,  1828,  was  the  first  white  child 
born  in  Warren  county.  Mr.  Ritchie  afterwards  went  to  Quincy,  then  to 
where  Nauvoo  was  built,  at  which  place  he  died  of  cholera.  J.  BuiFum  and 
L.  P.  Rockwell  located  where  Rockwell's  mill  was  afterwards  built. 

Daniel  Harris,  a  quiet,  peaceful  man,  erected  a  cabin  near  where  the 
village  of  Ellison  now  stands.  He  was  basely  murdered,  while  eating,  by  a 
gun-shot  through  the  window.     His  was  the  first  death  in  the  county. 

It  is  somewhat  strange  that  the  first  deaths  in  the  region  were  violent. 
Shortly  after  the  killing  of  Mr.  Harris,  Mr.  James  Moffitt  went  out  one 
morning  to  find  his  cattle,  which  had  strayed  away  on  the  unbounded  prai- 
ries. Getting  upon  a  fence  surrounding  some  choice  garden  or  field,  he  un- 
expectedly fell  and  dislocated  his  neck,  so  that  death  resulted  soon  after. 
Afterwards,  William  Martin,  son  of  Hugh  Martin,  was  killed  by  the  In- 
dians. An  account  of  this  and  the  trial  of  the  murderer  will  be  found  fur- 
ther on  in  this  narrative.  Adam  Ritchie  ("  Black,"  as  he  was  called  on  ac- 
count of  his  dark  color)  located  here  about  the  same  date  as  that  of  his 
cousin  Adam  (called  "  Sandy  "  on  account  of  his  sandy  complexion,  and  to 
distinguish  him  from  the  other),  but  afterwards  removed  to  Iowa,  where  he 
was  a  pioneer  in  the  organization  of  the  first  Seceder  church  in  that  State. 

Dr.  Isaac  Galland,  or  Garland— the  latter  is  probably  the  correct 
name — erected,  in  1827,  the  first  house  on  the  site  of  the  lower  Yellow 
Banks,  now  Oquaka,  Henderson  county.  The  Dr.  afterwards  related  that 
it  took  him  nearly  a  week  to  lay  up  the  logs  of  his  house,  eight  rounds  high. 
There  were  no  white  men  to  help  him,  save  his  teamster,  and  in  the  emer- 
gency he  hired  six  or  eight  Indians,  who  were  then  encamped  at  the  point 
of  woods  below.  He  had  to  pay  them  for  each  log  as  it  was  rolled  to  its 
place,  and  give  them  a  drink  around.  As  they  were  unused  to  such  labor, 
and  particularly  after  imbibing  two  or  three  drams  of  liquor,  thereby  be- 
coming unsteady  in  their  movements,  they  were  unable  to  perform  heavy 
work.  Often  at  this  stage  of  the  labor,  the  logs,  which  were  unhewn,  and 
ot  the  black-jack  variety,  would  give  a  lurch,  and  coming  down  on  their 
bare  arms  and  breasts,  would  tear  off  the  skin  in  great  flakes.  The}^  would 
give  an  ejaculatory  ''owcA,"  and  at  once  quit  for  the  day.  Their  love  of  the 
'•  fire-water  "  was  so  great,  however,  that  they  would  always  return  on  the 
following  day,  thereby  repeating  the  process  until  the  house  was  complete. 
A  few  other  houses  were  probably  built  this  year — 1827.  In  1828  and  '29, 
quite  a  number  of  settlers  came  and  located  in  difterent  portions  of  the 
county.  James  and  Rolla  Simmons  settled  at  Greenbush  ;  John  C.  Bond 
shortly  after,  a  little  south  of  them;  a  family  (name  not  now  known)  at  the 
head  of  Swan  creek;  Field,  Jarvis  and  Col.  Redman  at  the  head  of  Ellison 
creek;  Samuel  G.  Morise,  Thomas  Pearce,  Solomon  Perkins  and  Shelden 
Lockwood  near  the  present  town  of  Berwick;  Stephen  S.  Phelps  at  the 
Lower  Yellow  Banks;  James  Hodgens  at  Ilodgens'  Grove,  just  north-west 
of  the  present  city  of  Monmouth;  Samuel  Jameson  and  sons,  and  James 
Ryerson  south  of  the  Yellow  Banks. 

Stephen  S.  Phelps  purchased  the  improved  claim  of  Dr.  Garland,  and 
removed  his  family  to  their  new  home  in  the  summer  of  1828.  He  was 
soon  joined  by  the  families  of  Beatty  and  Jeremiah  Smith,  in  addition  to 
several  already  mentioned.  Mr.  Smith  erected  a  saw  and  grist  mill  on 
Smith  creek,  in  1829,  and  before  a  few  summers  had  passed  quite  a  settle- 
ment was  established  at  this  place. 


HISTORY    OV    WARREN    COUNTY.  109 

III  the  Autumn  of  1S29  and  sprinj?  of  1830,  Elijah  Davidson,^  Sr.,  Wil- 
liam Whitman,  Peter  Butler  and  others  located  on  the  south  side  of  Cedar 
creek.  By  this  time  the  entire  territory  comprised  in  Warren,  Henderson 
and  Mercer  counties  contained  only  about  thirt}^  or  forty  families;  but 
others  were  constantly  coming,  so  that  by  the  spring  of  the  latter  year  it 
was  thought  proper  to  send  to  Peoria  and  secure  an  order  for  a  county  elec- 
tion from  Hon.  Kichard  M.  Young,  Judge  of  the  Circuit  Court,  and  so 
well  known  in  after  years  throughout  the  State. 

Bj  the  census  of  1830,  theie  were  that  year  in  the  territory  included 
within  the  three  counties  360  inhabitants.  Other  reasons  urged  this  step. 
They  were  compelled  to  go  to  Peoria  for  all  legal  purposes — for  all  marriage 
licenses— or  publish  a  notice  ten  days  before  the  event,  and  young  people 
then,  as  now,  did  not  at  all  times  care  to  make  the  happy  affair  so  public  a 
matter;  they  were  compelled  to  adopt  the  former  course. 

The  citizens  desired  to  assess  and  collect  their  own  taxes,  and  to  man- 
aoje  affairs  their  own  wav.  Petitions  to  this  effect  were  freelv  circulated 
and  freely  signed. 

*Daniel  McISTeil,  Jr.,  who  then  lived  at  Lower  Yellow  Banks,  was  ap- 
pointed to  go  to  Peoria  to  meet  the  Judge  and  present  the  petition.  Judge 
Young  was  then  holding  court  in  a  building  sixteen  by  twenty  teet  in 
dimensions,  situated  upon  the  bank  of  the  river,  just  where  the  latter  leaves 
the  lake. 

It  was  then  more  than  fifty  miles  from  any  part  of  Warren  to  Peoria 
by  the  most  direct  route.  The  Spoon  and  Kickapoo  rivers  were  to  be 
crossed  between  the  two  places,  and  they  were  often  unfordable  by  reason 
of  overflows.  The  Judge  saw  the  necessity  of  the  people,  and  being  satis- 
fied thei-e  wei*e  enough  within  the  prescribed  limits  of  the  county,  issued 
the  following  order  : 

State  oe  Illinois,       )      . 
Fifth  Judicial  Circuity  \ 
The  People  of  the  State  of  Illinoits,  To  all  who  shall  see  these  presents, 

Greeting  : 

Whereas,  By  the  ninth  and  eleventh  sections  of  the  Act  entitled  "  An 
Act  forming  new  counties  out  of  the  counties  of  Pike  and  Fulton,  and  the 
attached  parts  thereofV'  approved  January  13th,  1825,  it  is  made  the  duty 
of  the  presiding  Judge  of  the  Fifth  Judicial  Circuit  of  the  State  of  Illinois, 
whenever  it  shall  be  made  to  appear  to  his  satisfaction,  that  either  of  the 
counties  of  Hancock,  Warren,  Mercer,  Henry,  Putnam  and  Knox,  contain 
three  hundred  and  fifty  inhabitants,  to  proceed  to  organize  the  same,  and  to 
grant  an  order  for  the  election  of  county  ofificers  preparatory  thereto  :  And 
whereas,  it  has  been  made  appear  to  my  satisfaction,  that  the  county  of 
Warren  contains  three  hundred  and  fifty  inhabitants  and  upwards;  and  in- 
asmuch as  the  greater  part  of  the  qualified  voters  of  the  said  county  have 
requested,  by  petition,  that  the  same  should  be  organized  with  as  little 
delay  as  possible,  I  do,  therefore,  in  pursuance  of  the  power  vested  in  me, 
by  virtue  of  the  above  recited  Act,  order  and  direct  that  an  election  be 

*  This  man  was  more  generallj- known  than  any  one  of  the  earlj^  settlers.  He  held 
almost  every  office  in  the  county  at  one  time  and  another,  and  did  more  to  advance  its  inter- 
ests than  any  one  else.  He  wasl)orn  in  Hillsborough,  N.  H.,  March  24,  1792;  he  emigrated 
to  Phelps,  N.  Y.,  in  1805;  to  Louisiana  in  1810.  He  returned  to  N.  Y.  again  in  1814,  and 
went  to  Wabash  county,  near  Vincennes,  Indiana,  in  1819.  In  1824  he  removed  to  Fulton 
county,  Illinois.  In  1*830  he  came  to  Warren  county,  where  he  remained  until  18o2,  when 
he  went  to  De  Witt,  Iowa,  where  he  died  Feb.  28,  1859,  aged  seventy-six  years.

-{  L.  S.  [-       June,  A.  D.  1830,  and  of  the  Independence  of  the  United 

- — . States,  the  fifty-fourth. 

Richard  M.  Young, 
Circuit  Judf/e  of  the  Fifth  Judicial  Circuit  of  the  State  of  Illinois. 
Mr.  Ritchie  lived  near  the  centre  of  the  population,  and  early  on  the 
morning  of  the  day  appointed  for  the  election  the  voters  assembled.    Thirty- 
seven  votes  were  polled,  three  voters  being  absent.     The  persons  named  in 
the  order  of  Judge  Young  declining  to  serve  as  judges  of  election,  the  peo- 
ple appointed  Robert  K.   Hendricks,  Sheldon   Lockwood  and  Peter  Butler 
in  their  place,  and  Stephen  S.  Phelps  and  Daniel  McXeil  clerks.    On  count- 
ino^  the  votes  at  the  close  of  the  ballotincr  John  Pence,  John  B.  Talbot  and 
Adam  ("Sandy")  Ritchie  were  found  elected  Commissioners;  John  Rust, 
Sheriff,  and  John  Ritchie,   Coronor.     Knox  county,  immediately  east  of 
Warren,  and  McDonough  county,  in  the  south,  were  each  organized  by  order 
of  Judge  Young,  on  the  same  day,  and  at  their  elections  each  gave  about 
the  same  number  of  votes  as  Warren. 

On  the  ]\[ondav  following  the  election  in  Warren,  the  Commissioners 
met  at  Lower  Yellow  Banks,  at  the  house  of  Stephen  S.  Phelps,  and  organ- 
ized as  a  Board  of  County  Commissioners.  They  appointed  Daniel  McNeil 
their  clerk,  divided  the  county  into  two  election  precincts  and  two  Justice's 
districts,  the  divisions  being  marked  by  the  range  line  between  three  and 
four  west.  The  western  was  called  Precinct  No.  1,  and  Yellow  Banks 
Judge's  District,  the  place  of  holding  elections  being  the  temporary  court- 
house. The  eastern  was  called  Precinct  No.  2,  and  the  place  of  holding 
elections  was  a])pointed  at  the  house  of  Isaac  Hodgens,  at  Hodgens'  Grove, 
one  mile  north-west  of  the  present  county  seat.  An  election  was  ordered 
to  be  held  at  these  places  on  the  first  Monday  in   August  following,  that

beiiiii;  the  <»'eneral  election  day  throui^hoiit  tlie  State.  It  was  also  ordered, 
that  in  addition  to  the  State  oHicers  elected,  there  should  be  chosen  thi-ee 
County  Commissioners,  one  Sheriff,  one  Coroner,  two  Justices,  two  Con- 
stables in  each  precinct;  and  as  the  District  Court  was  expected  to  hold  a 
session  before  this  election,  the  Commissioners  selected  a  Grand  and  Petit 
Jury,  which  took  ever}'  eligible  man  in  the  county. 

The  county  being  now  organized,  it  was  necessary  that  the  laws  of  the 
State  be  put  into  force.     Judge  Young  issued  the  following  order  : 

''  Statk  of  Illinois,       )     /  . 
Flftlt  Judicial  District.  [ 
To  all  whom,  it  may  concern^  Greeting  : 

"  Know  ye,  That  I,  Richard  M.  Young,  Judge  of  the  Fifth  Judicial 
Circuit  of  the  State  of  Illinois,  north  of  the  Illinois  river,  and  presiding 
Judge  of  the  Circuit  Court,  in  and  for  the  county  of  AVarren,  and  State 
aforesaid,  in  pursuance  of  the  power  vested  in  me  by  virtue  of  the  10th  sec- 
tion of  the  Act  entitled  'An  Act  supplementary  to  an  Act  regulating  the 
Supreme  and  Circuit  Courts,'  approved  January  1(>,  1829,  approved  Janu- 
ary 28,  1829,  do  hereby  order  and  appoint,  that  Cii'cuit  Courts  be  held  in 
and  for  the  said  county  of  Warren,  at  such  places  as  may  be  selected  and 
provided  by  the  County  Commissioners'  Court  of  said  county  on  the  fourth 
Mondays  in  June  and  the  first  Mondays  in  October,  until  I  shall  make 
another  order  to  the  contrary. 

'•  Signed,  Richard  M.  Young, 

'-'■Judge  of  the  Fifth  Judicial  Circuit!''' 
This  order  was  given  at  Galena  on  July  5th,  preceding  the  general 
election,  and  on  the  same  day  the  Judge  gave  the  order  for  the  organization 
of  the  count}';  he  gave  to  Daniel  McNeil  the  appointment  of  clerk,  j^ro 
tern..,  for  the  Circuit  Court,  dating  it  at  Peoria,  on  October  1st,  1830,  where 
he  held  court,  at  the  house  of  John  B.  Gunner  At  the  general  election  in 
August,  votes  were  cast  for  Governor,  Lieut.-Governor,  Representative  to 
the  General  Assembly  of  the  State,  and  for  the  county  officers,  as  ordered 
by  the  Commissioners.  Forty-seven  votes  were  cast,  forty- three  being  the 
greatest  number  any  one  candidate  received,  and  every  voter  in  the  county 
was  present  save  three.     Hon.  John  Reynolds  received  thirty-four  votes  for 

Governor,  and  William  Kinney  eleven.     Hon. Wright  was  elected 

Representative;  and  for  the  county  offices,  the  following  persons  were 
chosen  :  John  B.  Talbot,  Peter  Butler  and  John  Pence,  Commissioners  ; 
Stephen  S.  Phelps,  Sheriff,  and  John  Ritchie,  Coronor.  At  the  Yellow  Banks 
District,  John  Pence  and  Daniel  McNeil,  Jr.,  were  elected  Justices,  and 
James  Ryersou  and  William  Causland,  Constables.  At  the  Hodgens'  Grove 
District,  John  B.  Talbot,  ("  Sandy  ")  Adam  Ritchie  were  elected  Justices, 

and  David  Findley  and Constables.     Daniel  McNeil  having 

been  appointed  Clerk  of  Circuit  Court,  the  county  was  now  in  complete 
running  order.  For  some  reason  no  preparation  was  mads  for  holding  the 
Circuit  Court,  and  the  Judge  met  with  the  Clerk  at  the  house  of  John  B. 
Gunner,  at  Henderson's  Grove,  and  after  performing  a  little  formulatory 
business,  each  returned  to  his  home. 

It  was  customary  in  these  days  to  have  something  to  '"take"  at  all 
elections,  and  the  "  take  "  was  pretty  generally  indulged  in  by  all.  At  the 
election  in  August,  already  referred  to,  a  bucket  was  filled  with  whiskey, 
and  a  sufficient  number  of  tin  cups  placed  therein,  and  all  who  desired  could 
freely  imbibe.     Tlie  Indians  were  i)resent  at  the  time  in  a  sti-oug  represen- 


112  HISTORY    OF    WAEEEX    COUNTY. 

tation,  and  indulged  in  their  favorite  "  fire-M-ater  "  to  their  full.  Approach- 
ing the  successful  candidates  at  the  close  of  the  election,  the}^  congratulated 
them  in  a  series  of  grunts  and  approving  gestures,  using  in  many  cases, 
their  only  English  sentence  expressive  of  their  ideas — "  You  big  chief,  big 
chief,  me  little  chief,  so  high,"  measuring  a  short  distance  from  the  ground. 
Or  "  Keokuk,  big  chief,  big  chief,"  measuring  with  extended  arm  as  high 
as  they  could  reach. 

The  county  being  now  fully  organized,  it  became  necessary  to  have  a 
seat  of  justice,  and  as  the  inhabitants  residing  therein  could  not  decide  upon 
the  location,  they  petitioned  the  Legislature  to  select  it.  This  the  body  did, 
by  appointing  three  commissioners  to  perform  the  duty.  They  were  Major 
Hazen  Bedel,  of  Hancock  county,  John  G.  Sauburn,  of  Knox  county,  and 
John  McNeil,  of  Fulton.  The  Act  appointing  these  persons  as  Commis- 
sioners to  locate  the  county  seat  passed  the  Legislature,  and  was  approved 
January  27,  1831.  The  Act  directed  them  to  meet  at  the  house  of  Stephen 
S.  Phelps,  on  the  first  Monday  of  the  following  April,  and  being  duly  sworn 
by  some  judge  or  justice  in  the  count}^  they  were  "faithfully  to  take  into 
consideration  the  convenience  of  the  people,  the  situation  of  the  settlements 
with  a  view  to  tlie  future  population  of  said  county  and  the  eligibility  of  the 
situation,  shall  proceed  to  fix  upon  a  place  for  the  permanent  seat  of  justice 
for  said  county,  and  give  to  it  a  name." 

On  the  day  appointed  these  persons  met  and  were  duly  sworn  before 
Daniel  McNeil,  Jr.,  a  justice,  and  at  once  proceeded  to  select  a  location. 
Yellow  Banks,  Hodo-en's  Point,  Center  Grove  and  Ellison's  Creek  were  all 
contestants  for  the  place.  In  order  to  ascertain  what  the  future  population 
might  be,  the  commissioners  made  a  plat  of  the  county  and  placed  in  each 
township  the  probable  number  of  towns,  varying  from  four  to  forty-two. 

On  April  the  7th  they  completed  the  work  assigned  them,  and  sealing 
and  directing  a  pa--kage  containing  their  decision  to  the  "Covmty  Commis- 
sioners Court  of  Warren  County,  Illinois,"  they  departed  to  their  homes. 

At  a  called  meeting  of  the  latter  court,  on  the  11th  day  of  the  same 
month,  the  package  was  opened  and  was  found  to  locate  the  seat  of  justice 
on  section  29,  in  township  11.  The  reader  will  find  their  decision  given  at 
the  commencement  of  the  history  of  Monmouth,  in  their  own  words. 

In  choosing  the  name  of  the  new  county  seat,  each  commissioner 
selected  the  names  ;  from  these,  three  were  drawn,  which  proved  to  be 
Isabella,  Kosciusko  and  Monmouth.  These  were  thrown  together,  and  it 
was  agreed  that  the  one  drawn  should  be  the  name.  Kosciusko  was  drawn, 
wlien  it  was  suggested  by  the  commissioner  who  first  selected  it,  that  very 
few  of  the  inhabitants  could  spell  it  correctly,  and  he  moved  a  drawing  of 
the  other  two  names  be  made.  This  was  done,  and  resulted  in  the  name 
the  city  now  bears. 

The  summer  of  1831  was  remarkably  cold.  Dark  spots  were  plainly 
seen  by  the  naked  eye  to  cover  the  sun.  The  crops  were  almost  a  failure, 
and  an  early  winter  set  in.  Snow  fell  on  the  Irth  day  of  October,  but  the 
skies  clearing  ofi",  a  fine  spell  of  weather  came  in,  which  lastea  a  few  weeks 
and  enabled  the  settlers  to  o^ather  tiieir  corn.  The  winter  be<»:an  ao:ain  with 
a  storm  of  rain  which  lasted  until  the  prairies  were  covered  with 
water.  It  then  changed  to  snow,  and  became  in  a  few  hours  bitterly 
cold.  Within  twelve  hours  after  the  change,  the  prairies  were  a  complete 
glare  of  ice,  and  neither  man  or  beast  could  move  with  safety.  Men  were 
known  to  go  five  miles  or  more  to  get  horse-shoes  and  nails  made,  and

retnrnino'  home  would  set  the  shoes  with  a  common  drawino;-l<iiite  and  ham- 
mer.  By  such  means  only  were  the}^  able  to  obtain  fuel.  The  ice  l^isted 
six  weeks,  and  about  the  1st  of  February,  1832,  a  snow  fell  to  the  depth  of 
nine  inches.  This  lay  on  the  ground  nearly  six  weeks  and  furnished  excel- 
lent sleighing,  which  was  greatly  improved  by  the  residents  in  transporting 
any  articles  needed. 

The  spring  of  1832  opened  rather  late,  the  weather  was  cold,  and,  like 
the  previous  spring,  but  little  corn  came  up.  The  settlers  had  taken  the 
precaution,  however,  to  procure  a  species  of  Indian  maize,  known  as  '■'squaw 
eorn^''  which  matured  much  earlier  than  the  common  variety,  and  that  sea- 
son a  very  good  crop  was  raised. 

Their  crops  had  hardly  been  planted  when  they  were  disturbed  by  news 
of  an  Indian  war.  Black  Hawk  and  his  band  were  becoming  troublesome, 
and  on  the  iirst  of  May  Governor  Reynolds  encamped  at  t!ie  Yellow  Banks 
with  a  large  number  of  volunteers  to  aid  in  the  subjection  of  this  famous 
Indian  chief.  There  was  no  one  in  Warren  county  skilled  in  the  manual 
of  arms,  and  great  fears  were  expressed  by  the  people  least,  on  the  Gover- 
nor's absence,  the  savages  would  come  from  beyond  the  Mississippi  River 
and  destroy  them.  To  allay  these  fears  and  give  the  citizens  an  opportunity 
to  show  their  patriotism,  the  Governor  issued  the  following  special  com- 
mission : 

"  Camp  at  Yellow  Banks.  ] 
May  ttth,  1832.  f 
I  do  hereby  appoint  Daniel  MclS'eil  to  give  notice  that  an  election 
for  a  major  of  militia,  composing  an  odd  battalion  in  AYarren  county,  will 
be  held  at  Monmouth,  at  some  convenient  time,  within  ten  days  from  the 
date  of  this  appointment.  And  I  do  further  authorize  the  said  McIsTeil  to 
conduct  said  election  according  to  law,  and  to  give  the  person  elected  major 
a  certificate  of  his  election,  which  will  authorize  said  major  to  cause  elec- 
tions to  be  held  for  company  officers,  so  that  said  militia  be  organized  with 
speed  to  defend  their  lives  from  Indian  depredations  ;  and  in  case  of  neces- 
sity, the  said  McNeil  is  authorized  to  call  on  one  or]  more  companies  to 
range  the  frontier  for  its  defense. 

(Signed,)  John  Reynolds. 
Governor  and  Commander-in-Chief  of  the  111.  Militia." 
In  accordance  with  the  above  order,  notice  was  given  and  an  election, 
which  resulted  in  the  choice  of  Peter  Butler,  as  major  of  the  odd 
battalion,  who  forthwith  ordered  elections  to  be  held  at  different  points,  for 
company  officers,  in  certain  districts  of  the  county,  and  the  organization  of 
the  militia  was  complete. 

Governor  Reynolds  passed  on  to  Rock  River  with  his  troops,  and  the 
citizens  becoming  alarmed  for  their  safety,  being  without  a  patrol,  or  body 
of  rangers,  for  protection,  petitioned  McNeil  to  call  volunteers.  He  com- 
plied, and  on  the  31st  of  May  issued  a  call,  to  meet  at  Monmouth  on  the 
4th  day  of  June.  At  this  latter  date  a  company  of  thirtij  men,  three  com- 
missioned, and  fve  non-commissioned  officers  was  formed,  and  reported  for 
duty  at  the  War  Department  at  the  City  of  Wasliington  and  to  the  Gover- 
nor of  the  State.

These  troops  were  disbanded  in  consequence  of  an  order  from  the  Gov- 
ernor calling  upon  the  counties  of  McDonongh  and  Warren  to  furnish  a 
company  to  serve  as  mounted  rangers  until  regularly  discharged.  This 
latter  company  was  at  once  raised  and  Major  Butler  chosen  captain  and 
James  McCullon  1st  Lieutenant;  many  of  the  old  company  joining  under 
these  officers. 

It  was  during  the  time  this  last  company  was  stationed  at  a  fort  at 
Yellow  Banks  that  the  murder  of  William  Martin,  already  referred  to, 
occurred.  This  sad  occurrence  happened  on  the  afternoon  of  a  fine  day 
while  Mr.  Martin  was  engaged  in  patting  up  hay.  He  was  near  Little 
York,  and  the  two  Misses  McCoy  saw  five  Indians  come  out  from  the  woods 
near,  run  to  Martin  and  shoot  and  scalp  him.  The  news  of  the  murder 
spread  with  great  rapidity  throughout  the  settlement  and  caused  great 
alarm  among  the  inhabitants.  Nearly  every  family  at  once  repaired  to  the 
fort  for  safety.  A  Methodist  minister,  who  was  preaching  at  Cedar  Creek, 
some  three  miles  distant,  immediately  on  receipt  of  the  news,  in  the  midst 
of  his  sermon,  abruptly  closed  his  discourse,  dismissed  his  congregation  and 
fled  with  great  haste  to  Canton. 

The  murderers  of  Mr.  Martin  must  be  found  and  brought  to  punish- 
ment. The  war  was  over  and  people  had  returned  to  their  homes.  The 
grand  iury,  at  their  session  in  1832,  following  the  painful  murder,  found  a 
true  bill  against  certain  Indians,  names  unknown,  of  Keokuk's  band  of  the 
Sac  and  Fox,  friendly  Indians,  for  the  murder  of  William  Martin.  This 
was  forwarded  to  the  Governor  of  the  State,  M'ith  a  request  that  he  would 
forward  the  same  to  the  President  of  the  United  States,  asking  him  to 
require,  through  the  Indian  Agent  of  said  band  of  Indians,  the  murderers. 
The  Agent,  Col.  Marmaduke  Davenport,  made  the  demand,  and  one  of  the 
murderers  was  delivered  to  the  United  States  garrison  at  Rock  Island  and 
confined  in  Fort  Armstrong.  From  this,  however,  he  escaped  and,  crossing 
the  Mississippi  River,  fled  to  the  far  West. 

According  to  the  Indian  custom,  the  tribe  at  once  delivered  up  the  next 
of  kin  to  the  murderers.  This  latter  fact  was  not,  however,  known  to  the 
authorities  of  Warren  county,  Peter  Butler,  sheriff  of  the  county,  was 
notified  by  Col.  Davenport  that  he  would  be  at  the  Lower  Yellow  Banks 
about  the  20th  of  March,  1833,  with  the  reputed  murderer  of  Martin,  and 
requested  that  he,  1  hitler,  would  be  prepared  to  receive  the  prisoners.  On 
that  day.  Col.  Davenport,  accompanied  by  Pash-a-])a-ho,  Wee-shaw  and  Keo- 
kuk, chiefs,  together  with  (juite  a  number  of  Indians,  his  guard  and  the 


HISTORY    OF    WARREN    COUNTY.  115 

interpreters,  arrived  at  Yellow  Banks,  and  delivered  into  the  custody  of 
Maj.  l)Utler  four  young  warriors,  who  were  divested  of  their  weapons  and 
ornaments,  and,  as  they  expressed  it,  became  squaws,  were  placed  under 
guard  and  taken  to  Monmouth.  Here  they  were  put  under  the  charge  of 
Daniel  McNeil,  jailor,  who  kept  tlu-m  under  guard  until  the  jail,  then  in 
process  of  construction,  was  sufficiently  strong  for  their  safe  keeping. 

The  names  of  the  prisoners  were  J-o-nah,  signifying,  st'iy  here^  or  he  quiet^ 
or  be  still;  Ka-ke-mo,  he  tJiat  troubles,  or  humhleth,'  Wau-pe-sho-kon,  the 
white  string;  and  S-sa-pe-mo  (the  meaning  of  the  latter  name  is  not  now 
knownV 

They  brought  with  them  a  parcel  of  pipes,  tobacco,  driei  corn,  beans 
and  a  (quantity  of  meat  and  tallow,  sufficient  to  last  them  several  days.  The 
jailor  had  some  of  their  provisions  cooked  for  them  in  the  Indian  style,  but 
regularly  supplied  them  with  wholesome  food.  One  day  they  refused  to  eat 
until  a  speech  had  been  delivered  by  J-o-nah,  to  which  the  others  responded, 
and  when  ended,  the  speaker  gave  to  the  jailor  a  large  green  blanket,  a  pair 
of  moccasins  and  a  handkerchief.  He  was  unable  to  understand  the  speech 
and  judged  the  Indians  wanted  the  blanket  and  handkerchief  (; hough  quite 
clean)  washed, — the  moccasins  were  for  his  wife,  as  a  compensation  for 
washing. 

When  the  articles  were  washed  and  dried,  the  jailor  took  them  back  to 
the  prisoners,  when  he  discovered  his  error.  Speeches  were  again  made,  in 
which  the  name  of  Pencenean  (a  French  interpreter,)  was  often  used,  lie 
was  in  the  employ  of  Mr.  Phelps,  and  a  short  time  after,  being  at  the  jail, 
the  Indians  requested  him  to  say  to  their  keeper  that  they  were  shut  up  in 
prison,  deprived  of  fishing  or  hunting,  away  from  their  kindred  and  friends 
and  nation,  and  wholly  dependent  upon  the  "  French  man,''^  as  they  called 
the  jailor,  for  everything  they  ate  and  drank,  and  that,  were  it  not  for  his 
kindness,  they  would  long  since  have  s  arved  to  death  ;  that  the  blanket 
and  other  articles  were  of  no  use  to  them  now,  and  that  they  had  given 
them  to  him  as  a  token  of  their  gratitude,  and  hoped  that  they  might  be  so 
received.  "  Tell  him,"  said  J-o-nah,  "  he  is  my  brother,  and  a  brother  of 
us  all  ;  and  should  we  ever  be  liberated  we  will  return  to  our  kindred  and 
tell  them  all  i\\G  *■  French  man  ^  \\?i9:  dowQ  for  us.  And  when  he  becomes 
old,  we  will  fish  and  kill  deer  and  buffalo,  catch  otter  and  beaver  for  him, 
and  we  will  bring  them  to  Wa-wash-a-ne-quah  (S.  S.  Phillips,  who  traded 
much  with  the  Indians),  who  will  write  to  the  '■French  man''  to  come 
down  with  his  one-horse  wagon  and  bring  up  an  abundance  of  provisions 
and  furs  for  himself,  squaw,  and  little  ones,  and  all  our  brothers  shall  be 
his  brotliers." 

Court  convened  on  June  14,  1833,  and  under  a  writ  of  habeas  corjjus 
the  prisoners  were  brought  up  for  trial.  Col.  Davenport,  the  Indian  Agent, 
Mr.  Le  Clair,  his  interpreter,  Keokuk,  a  famous  chief,  always  friendly  to  the 
whites,  Pow-a-sheite,  and  some  fifty  other  chiefs  and  braves  came  up  from 
Yellow  Banks,  headed  by  the  United  States  flag,  and  encamped  near  the 
place  of  trial.  The  Indians — probably  through  the  agent — had  emplo^^ed 
able  counsel.  They  were  Mr.  Field,  of  Vandalia,  Mr.  Galewood,  of  Shaw- 
neetown  and  Mr.  Hempstead,  of  Galena.  They  paid  these  lawyers  about 
$500  each  to  defend  them. 

After  a  patient  examination  by  the  grand  jury,  of  Keokuk  and  other 
chiefs,  to  identify  these  persons  as  tlie  murderers,  that  body  reported  that 
"Tlie  person  confined  in  the  fort  at  Rock  Island  was  the  only  person  ever  taken 


116  HISTORY    OF    WARREN    COUNTY. 

who  was  the  real  murderer,  and  that  he  liad  escaped  to  parts  unknown." 
The  prisoners  were  at  once  discharged,  though  not  before  Judge  Young 
had  (through  the  interpreter)  severely  reprimanded  Keokuk  and  the  other 
chiefs  for  delivering  innocent  persons  in  the  room  of  the  guilty.  Keokuk 
replied  that  one  guilty  of  the  crime  had  been  delivered  up  to  the  United 
States  and  that  he  had  escaped,  and  with  the  four  other  murderers  had  gone 
bevond  the  Kockv  Mountains.  That  these  four  prisoners  were  next  in  kin 
to  the  guilty  ones,  and  according  to  tlieir  custom  were  given  to  be  punished. 
They  were  all  very  grateful  for  the  deliverance  of  their  braves,  and  at  once 
returned  to  their  hunting  grounds.  While  in  the  jail,  the  keeper  had  tried 
to  learn  from  them  where  lead  could  be  found  in  Iowa.  They  assured  him 
there  was  none  to  be  found  in  that  State  worth  working,  except  about  Du- 
buque. They  often  drew  maps  for  him,  starting  at  the  lakes,  drawing  the 
Illinois  River  and  its  tributaries,  Wisconsin,  Mississippi  and  Missouri,  em- 
bracing Turkey  Hirer,  Maquoketa,  Waubosepinican,  Iowa  and  its  branches 
and  the  Des  Moines  ;  and  it  was  often  spoken  of  by  the  jailor,  who  has 
transmitted  these  items  to  posterity,  that  it  was  doubtful  whether  anyone 
could,  with  a  piece  of  chalk,  draw  on  a  rough  board  floor  so  good  a  map  of 
these  rivers  and  the  country  they  traversed.  A  few  other  Indians  were 
tried  in  Wari'en  county  for  various  crimes,  one  of  whom,  Wa-gra-sho-kon, 
married  a  daughter  of  the  celebrated  Black  Hawk. 

Troubles  with  the  Indians  soon,  most  happil}',  ceased.  The  famous 
Black  Hawk  war  was  closed,  and  emigrants  came  rapidly  into  the  county. 
Keligion  and  education  at  once  took  firm  hold  here,  so  that  now  the  county 
contains  fully  as  many  churches  and  schools,  according  to  its  population,  as 
any  county  in  the  United  States. 

The  first  sermon  preached  in  the  limits  of  Wan-en  county  was  by  Kev. 
Mr.  Finch,  a  Methodist  minister.  The  people  comprising  this  denomina- 
tion were  few  in  number  then,  and  lived  far  apart.  Their  first  regular  mis- 
sionary was  Rev.  Barton  Randall.  A  class  was  formed  first  at  Thomas 
Pierce's  house,  and  here  Benton  H.  Cartwright,  the  first  exhorter  and 
licensed  pi*eacher  among  them,  held  services. 

A  Cumberland  Presbytarian  minister  preached  the  first  sermon  in 
Monmouth,  at  Joel  Hargrove's  house.  As  early  as  1830  or  1831,  the  Associate 
Keformed  sent  a  missionary  here,  and  their  church  formed  at  Henderson's 
Grove  is  the  oldest  religious  organizatioTi  in  the  count}-.  The  Disciples 
located  about  the  same  time  east  of  Monmouth,  their  center  being  Cold- 
brook.  The  first  Sunday-school  in  Warren  was  opened  at  Yellow  Bank,  in 
1830,  and  two  years  after,  a  second  school  was  opened  in  Monmouth.  The 
first  public  school — supported  by  subscription — was  opened  in  Monmouth 
by  Robert  Black,  in  1831,  and  shortly  after,  another  was  started  by  Alpheus 
Russell. 

Aside  from  Dr.  Garland,  the  earliest  physician  to  locate  here  M'as  Dr. 
Ethan  Cabanis.  Dr.  Alpheus  Russell  came  in  1831.  Both  these  physicians 
located  at  Monmouth. 

John  Wilton,  the  first  lawyer  in  Warren  county,  located  on  his  farm, 
in  what  is  now  Kelley  township.  He  was  soon  followed  by  John  H. 
Mitchell  and  Ivory  Quinby. 

The  first  recorded  marriage  was  that  of  Samuel  L.  White  to  Huldah 
Jennings,  on  May  10,  1831,  the  ceremony  being  performed  by  John  B, 
Talbott,  Justice  of  the  Peace. 

On  Saturday,  June  11,  1831,  the  County  Commissioners  divided  the 


HISTORY   OF   WARREN   COUNTY.  117 

county  into  three  election  districts,  or  precincts.  The  first  of  these  had  for 
its  voting  place  the  Court  House,  Monmouth  ;  the  seco'.d  was  called  Yel- 
low Banks  district,  and  the  place  of  voting  was  at  the  house  of  William 
Cousland  ;  and  the  third  was  known  as  Ellison  district,  where  the  voters 
met  at  the  house  of  Paris  Smith.  At  this  same  time,  a  license  was  granted 
to  Willi;».m  Cousland  to  keep  an  inn — the  first  one  in  Warren  county — at 
Yellow  Banks.  He  paid  two  and  one-half  dollars  for  the  license,  which,  as 
in  all  such  instruments,  specified  his  rates  for  entertainment. 

Stephen  Phelps  was  also  granted  leave,  on  payment  of  $10,  to  sell 
merchandise  at  the  same  place.  He  was  also  collector  of  the  taxes,  and 
having  about  this  time  collected  the  sum  of  $208,  he  sent  the  same  to 
Springfield  by  the  hand  of  John  B.  Talbott,  who  received  $.5  for  his 
services. 

The  county  was  beginning  to  rapidly  fill  with  settlers,  and  at  every 
meeting  of  the  Commissioners,  several  petitions  would  be  presented  to  grant 
the  opening  of  roads  throughout  the  county.  By  March,  1832,  eight  road 
districts  were  established,  and  to  aid  in  county  affairs,  a  tax  of  one-half  per 
cent,  was  levied  on  all  personal  property,  which  at  that  time  included  sev- 
eral negro  slaves. 

It  will  be  borne  in  mind  by  all,  that  at  one  time  human  slavery  was 
allowed  in  Blinois,  and  was  the  cause  of  considerable  discussion  and  no 
little  trouble  before  it  was  banished  from  the  State.  There  is  on  record  in 
the  county  offices  the  wise  and  humane  action  of  Mr.  Joseph  Murphy,  who 
came  into  court  October  2,  1834,  and  stated  that  he  desired  to  liberate  a 
negro  man  he  owned,  who  wished  to  go  to  Liberia.  He  gave  bonds  in  the 
sum  of  one  thousand  dollars  to  secure  the  county  against  any  loss  sustained 
in  keeping  the  slave  should  he  fail  to  go  to  Liberia  or  to  provide  for  him- 
self. Mr.  Murphy  allowed  the  man  to  take  the  name  of  Richard  Murphy, 
and  set  him  at  liberty.  Richard  remained  in  Warren  county,  became  quite 
wealthy,  and  is  now  one  of  the  best  citizens  therein.  This  curse  to  human- 
ity was  never  allowed  to  any  extent  here,  and  only  in  its  mildest  forms,  and 
in  many  instances  the  slave  was  as  well  or  better  treated  than  the  average 
hired  man  at  the  present  time.  The  majority  of  persons  thus  held  were 
brought  here  by  their  owners  as  servants  from  the  South,  and  were  gener- 
ally considered  as  such. 

In  the  autumn  of  1832,  Daniel  McNeil  was  re-appointed  County  Clerk, 
and  Elijah  Davidson  continued  as  County  Treasurer.  In  order  to  secure 
warmth  during  the  coming  winter,  to  the  county  officers,  a  stone  chimney 
was  ordered  to  be  built  to  the  court-house.  It  might  be  interesting  to 
pause  here  and  notice  the  jail,  which  had  been  by  this  time  completed.  It 
was  built  of  hewed  logs,  each  one  foot  square,  the  lower  story  having  double 
walls.  An  excavation  was  made  in  the  ground  two  feet  deep  and  the  floor 
laid  at  the  bottom  of  this.  It  was  composed  of  two  layers  of  oak  logs 
hewed  one  foot  square,  the  upper  layer  crossing  the  lower,  thereby  making 
a  floor  two  feet  of  solid  oak.  The\valls  for  seven  rounds  high  were  the 
same  in  strength  and  thickness,  the  ends  of  the  logs  being  dove-tailed  into 
each  other.  On  the  upper  surface  of  the  saventh  round  the  upper  floor 
was  laid.  This  was  of  the  same  material  and  size  as  the  floor  l^eneath,  save 
it  was  one  thickness  closely  joined.  In  the  centre  a  heavy  trap  door  was 
made,  securely  fastened  by  a  strong  pad-lock.  The  roof  was  of  the  firmest 
material  and  well  covered  with  good  shingles.  In  the  loAver  stoi-y  a  win- 
dow or  "  air-hole  "  six  by  twelve  inches  was  made,  and  between  the  logs 


118  HISTORY    OF    WARREN   COUNTY. 

composing  the  wall,  iron  bars  one  inch  in  thickness,  were  secnrely  fastened 
crossing  this  window  up  and  down  and  crossways.  At  the  centre  of  one  end 
of  the  upper  story,  a  double  oak  plank  door  was  placed,  and  a  stairway  lead- 
ing from  it  to  the  ground  built.  The  prisoners  were  conducted  up  these 
stairs  into  the  upper  stor3%  when  the  trap  door  was  raised,  and  tiiey 
descended  by  a  movable  stairway  or  ladder  to  the  cell  beneath.  Here  they 
were  secure.  This  jail  was  probably  one  of  the  best  of  the  kind  ever  built 
in  the  west,  and  was  the  work  of  Jacob  Rust,  the  lowest  bidder  for  the  con- 
tract.    It  was  completed  and  accepted  May  4th,  1S33. 

On  June  29,  IS-tO,  this  jail  was  sold  to  L.  C.  Woodworth  for  Sfi2.50, 
he  with  C.  L.  Merrill,  having  secured  the  contract  to  erect  the  present 
structure  for  $2,831. 66f.  It  was  accepted  the  following  year,  and  has  since 
undergone  considerable  repair,  and  will,  in  all  probability,  soon  be  replaced 
by  one  fully  equal  to  any  emergency. 

The  old  log  court-house  was  occupied  about  seven  years.  In  1835,  at 
the  March  meeting  of  the  County  Commissioners,  James  McCallon,  Elijah 
Davidson,  and  Daniel  McNeil,  Jr.,  were  appointed  a  committee  to  prepare 
a  plan  for  a  new  one.  These  submitted  a  plan  for  a  frame  structure  thirty 
feet  long,  twenty  feet  wide,  and  one  and  a  half  story  high.  June  1st  the 
contract  for  its  construction  was  let,  and  Daniel  McNeil  appointed  superin- 
tendent. The  cost  was  to  be  $773.00.  The  old  court-house  was  sold  to 
James  Hodgen  for  twenty-one  dollars.  The  new  court-house  was  never 
finished,  and  was  used  in  the  incomplete  condition  one  or  two  years.  On 
December  8,  1836,  the  county  Board  ordered  advertisements  to  be  inserted 
in  the  Peoria  Champion,  Quincy  Aryus,  Bounty  Law  Register^  Sanga- 
mon Journal,  and  the  Illinois  Patriot,  for  the  best.plans  for  a  court-house, 
to  be  built  of  brick  and  stone.  The  present  court-house  was  the  result.  It 
is  forty  by  tifty  feet  in  dimensions,  two  stories  high,  and,  when  constructed, 
had  an  east  and  south  front.  The  latter  is  now  closed.  The  contract  for 
its  construction  was  let  to  Cornelius  Tunnicliff  for  $8,998.  He  commenced 
the  work,  drew  the  tirst  installment  of  pay — $1,000 — and  left.  His  securi- 
ties at  once  entered  upon  the  work  and  completed  the  building.  It,  as  well 
as  the  jail,  standing  immediately  west,  is  becoming  inadequate  to  the  wants 
of  the  county,  and  a  commodious  structure  will,  ere  long,  occupy  its  place. 

The  territory  now  comprising  Henderson  county  was,  prior  to  1841, 
included  in  AYarren  county.  The  residents  of  that  section,  especially  those 
in  the  western  parts,  complained  of  the  long  distance  to  the  seat  ot  justice, 
and  made  some  efforts  to  have  it  removed  to  a  more  central  locality.  Many 
of  them  desired  it  should  be  placed  at  Oquawka,  on  the  Mississippi  river,  the 
old  county  seat.  This  would  not  do.  To  settle  all  matters,  the  western 
part  of  the  county,  including  164,608  acres  of  land,  was  set  off  into  another 
county,  and  called  Henderson.  The  county  seat  was  located  at  Oquawka. 
Until  late  years  this  place  was  generally  known  as  Yellow  Banks,  and  as 
such  is  often  spoken  ot  in  these  pages.  It  is  well  to  state  that  the  latter 
name  is  simply  the  English  translation  of  the  Indian  name  the  town  still 
bears. 

In  1849  the  iirst  vote  on  a  township  organization  was  held.  It  was 
decided  in  the  affirmative,  and  the  County  C(»mmissioners  appointed  Josejih 
Paddox,  John  C.  Bond  and  Ira  F.  M.  Butler  a  committee  to  divide  the 
county  into  townships.  This  committee  performed  this  duty,  and  for  one  or 
two  years  the  county  was  governed  accordingly.  A  decision  of  the  Supreme 
Court,  however,  decided  the  act  illegal,  on  account  of  the  insufficient  num- 


HI8TORY    OF    WAKKEN    COUNTY.  119 

ber  of  votes,  and  the  organization  was  abandoned.  In  1850,  Mr.  C  K. 
Smith  presented  a  petition  signed  by  many  citizens,  asking  for  a  vote  to  be 
held  at  the  IS^oveiriber  election.  At  the  election  the  organization  was 
defeated.  Another  petition  was  presented  in  1852  by  Mr.  Kober*;  Gilmore, 
and  again  defeated  at  the  polls.  On  September  12,  185.3,  Mr.  James 
McC/oy  presented  a  petition  signed  by  more  than  fifty  voters,  asking  that 
at  the  coming  general  election,  in  November,  the  vote  be  once  more  taken. 
This  election  was  held  on  November  8th,  and  thirteen  hundred  and  ninety- 
six  votes  were  cast;  seven  hundred  and  sixty-eight  were  in  favor,  and  the 
county  commissioners  soon  after  appointed  John  0.  Bond,  Samuel  'Jallam 
and  Robert  Gilmore  a  committee  to  divide  the  county  into  townships.  This 
committee  formed  them  as  they  now  exist,  save  that  a  few  of  the  names 
have  since  been  changed. 

The  most  prominent  roads  were  laid  out  in  the  early  settlement  of  the 
county. 

These  wagon  roads  have,  in  a  great  measure,  lost  their  usefulness,  being 
superceded  by  railroads,  but  are  yet  used  as  thoroughfares.  In  December, 
1834,  a  road  "was  laid  out,  or  "  viewed,"  as  it  is  termed  in  all  the  records, 
from  Monmouth  to  Macomb.  The  following  year,  from  Monmouth  to 
Knoxville.  This  same  year  the  law  requiring  all  able-bodied  men  over 
twenty-one  years  of  age  to  work  two  days  on  the  roads  was  put  in  force,  and 
had  a  salutarv  effect  on  the  travellins;  facilities.  Also,  during  the  summer, 
the  State  road  from  Knoxville  through  Warren  county  to  New  Boston  was 
viewed  by  Erastus  Denison  and  Ephriam  Gilmore.  A  route  had  been  for 
some  time  established  to  Kock  Island,  and  to  other  points,  and  after  the 
location  of  the  State  road,  the  improvements  in  this  regard  were  generally 
local. 

The  first  railroad  in  the  county  was  built  in  1854,  and  finished  to  Mon- 
mouth on  January  1st,  1855.  The  charter  was  obtained  for  a  road  under  the 
title  of  the  "  Peoria  and  Oquawka  Rail  Road,  but  upon  the  refusal  on  the 
part  of  Oquawka  to  give  aid  to  the  road,  Burlington  raised  the  sum  re- 
quired, and  in  consequence  the  route  was  changed,  and  Burlington  became 
what  Oquawka  might  have  been,  a  city  of  great  commercial  importance, 
and  a  railroad  centre  for  all  roads  through  Iowa.  The  Chicago  and  Quincy 
Rail  Road  was  completed  to  Galesburg  at  that  time,  and  that  company  leased 
or  obtained  the  privilege  of  running  their  trains  over  the  Peoria  &  Oquawka 
line  to  Burlington,  and  in  a  short  time  after  purchased  the  entire  line, 
when  the  name  was  changed  to  the  Chicago  &  Burlington  Rail  Road.  As 
soon  as  the  Quincy  branch  was  completed  to  Galesburg,  110  miles,  it 
assumed  the  present  title,  by  which  it  is  known  all  over  the  world. 

This  county,  when  it  was  asked  for  $50,000  to  aid  in  its  construction, 
gave  it,  but  the  measure  was  strongly  opposed  on  the  ground  that  such  a 
road  would  never  pay,  as  the  road  could,  it  was  said,  take  ofi'  in  one  day  all 
Warren  county  could  produce  for  shipment  in  a  year.  This  was  an  argu- 
ment that  it  would  not  benefit  the  county  for  the  sum  required,  and  as  for 
the  passenger  traflic,  it  was  said  that  a  stage  passed  through  ]\Ionmoutli 
from  Peoria  three  times  a  week,  and  that  they  were  never  half  full.  Where 
would  the  railroad  get  its  support  ? 

When  the  road  was  finished,  there  was  more  freight  at  Monmouth 
waiting  shipment  than  the  most  sanguine  had  dreamed,  and  the  result  was, 
the  county  began  increasing  ra]udly  in  population  and  inq»r()vcnu'nt,  until 
it  ranks  as  one  of  the  greatest  shipping  counties  on  the  line  of  road. 


120  HISTORY    OF   WAEEEN   COUNTS. 

In  the  summer  of  1870,  the  Rockford,  Rock  Island  and  St.  Louis  rail- 
road was  completed  through  the  county,  giving  direct  communication  with 
St.  Louis  on  the  south  and  Rock  Island  on  the  north.  The  county  gave 
largely  to  assist  in  the  construction  of  this  road,  and  has  derived  good  ben- 
efits from  it.     It  has  lately  come  under  the  control  of  the  C.  B.  &  Q. 

The  railroad  company  intend  soon  to  erect  a  fine  depot  at  the  crossing, 
to  take  the  place  of  the  one  lately  destroyed  by  fire.  This  is  much  needed, 
as  the  travel  to  this  point  is  very  large. 

A  narrow  gauge  railroad  is  now  projected  from  a  point  in  Illinois, 
opposite  Burlington,  thence  through  Henderson,  Warren.  Fulton  and  Peoria 
counties,  via  Monmouth  and  Canton,  to  Pekin  and  Peoria.  At  Pekin  con- 
nection will  be  made  with  the  Rantoul  and  Eastern  for  Toledo,  Ohio. 

A  company,  with  a  capital  stock  of  §1,000,000,  is  already  formed,  and 
received  their  charier  on  November  20,  1875.  It  is  largely  composed  of 
the  best  business  men  of  the  county,  and  when  completed  will  be  a  source 
of  great  benefit  to  the  people  along  the  line.

OLD  SETTLERS'  ORGAXIZATIOK 

Pursuant  to  a  call  published  in  the  AVarren  and  Henderson  county 
papers,  many  of  the  old  settlers  in  tlie  two  counties  met  at  Young  America, 
on  Saturday  afternoon,  January  27,  1872.  The  meeting  was  called  to  order 
by  Col.  S.  Hutchinson,  who  stated  the  object  to  be  the  forming  of  a  per- 
manent organization  of  the  old  settlers  of  the  two  counties,  and  to  make 
arrangements  for  a  social  re-union,  to  be  held  on  the  22d  day  of  February. 
All  persons  who  had  settled  in  the  two  counties  ])rovious  to  the  forma- 
tion of  Henderson  county,  were  admitted  to  membership,  save  the  editors 
of  the  papers  in  each  of  the  counties,  who  were  admitted  to  honorary  mem- 
bership. It  was  also  decided  that  the  officers  should  beapresident,  vice-presi- 
dents, secretarv  and  treasurer.  At  the  meeting  held  Februarv  22d,  committees 
were  appointed  to  draft  a  constitution  and  by-laws  and  to  select  officers  for 
the  ensuini;  vear.  The  time  fur  the  annual  re-union  was  fixed  to  be  on  the 
lirst  AVednesday  in  June,  of  each  year. 

On  this  day  the  first  re-union  was  held,  at  which  time  the  constitution 
and  by-laws  were  approved.  The  re-union  was  held  at  Young  America, 
and  a  most  enjoyable  spirit  prevailed.  The  old  settlers  gave  many  interest- 
ing accounts  of  their  early  life,  and  privations  endured  in  the  settling  of 
the  counties.  It  was  ordered  to  change  the  time  of  meeting  until  the  first 
Wednesday  in  September,  hereafter,  which  is  the  annual  day  for  the 
re-unions. 

These  re-unions  have  been  regularly  held  since.  Nearly  all  the  old 
settlers*  in  the  two  counties  are  now  members,  and  take  an  active  part  in 
sustaining  the  organizatio^i.  The  constitution  is  now  so  amended  that  all 
persons  in  the  counties  are  eligible  for  membership  who  have  resided  therein 
thirtv  Years. 

The  present  officers  are  :  President,  Col.  Samuel  Hutchinson;  Vice- 
President,  James  Tucker;  Secretary,  W.  A.  Grant;  Corresponding  Sec- 
retary, J.  B.  Patterson;  Treasurer,  AN^m.  Hanna. 

The  following  is  a  list  of  the  members  of  this  association,  and  their

128  HISTORY    OF   WARREN    COUNTY. 


THE    OLDEST    CHUliCH    IN    WAEREN    COUNTY. 

The  first  organized  church  in  this  county  was  near  what  is  called 
"Sugar-Tree  Grove,"  in  Hale  township.  It  was  called  the  ''Associate 
Presbyterian  Church  of  Henderson;"  the  latter  name  from  its  supposed 
proximity  to  the  Henderson  river,  seven  miles  distant.  Some  persons  of 
this  denomination,  it  seems,  had  settled  in  this  vicinity  as  early  as  1828, 
from  Ohio.  Earlier  still,  persons  of  the  same  church  connection  had  settled 
in  the  southern  part  of  this  State,  and  in  Missouri.  Fi'om  some  of  those 
in  the  latter  State,  a  petition  for  supply  of  gospel  ordinances  was  sent  to  the 
Associate  Synod  at  its  meeting  in  May,  182.5.  The  result  was,  that  the 
Synod  resolved  to  occupy  the  States  of  Indiana,  Illinois  and  Missouri. 
From  this  time  forward,  missionaries  were  appointed  to  labor  a  part  of  each 
year  in  each  of  these  States.  In  1830,  Rev.  James  McCarrel  was  appointed 
to  what  was  then  called  the  Western  Mission,  and  in  November  of  that 
year  he  organized  Henderson  congregation.  This  took  place  at  the  house 
of  John  Caldwell.  The  names  of  twenty-five  persons  are  recorded,  who 
were  received  as  members  at  the  organization,  and  are  as  follows  :  Adam 
Ritchie,  John  Ritcliie,  Elizabetli  Ritchie,  Abigail  Ritchie,  Martha  Ritchie, 
Jane  Campbell,  John  Maley,  John  Kendall,  Elizabeth  Kendall,  Samuel  Gib- 
son, Elizabeth  Gibson,  James  Junkin,  Sarah  Junkin,  Martha  Junkin,  Ann 
Junkin,  William  Gibson,  Matthew  Ritcliie,  Caroline  Ritchie,  Adam  Ritchie, 
Sen.,  John  Ritchie,  Jr.,  Sarah  Junkin,  David  Findley,  Jane  Findley,  Mar- 
garet Temple  and  John  W.  Caldwell.  Not  one  of  these  is  now  a  member  of 
this  church — only  five  are  living — and  these  at,  or  near,  Monmouth,  The 
first  elders  were  :  Adam  Ritchie  and  John  Caldwell.  The  first  pastor  was 
Rev.  James  C.  Bruce,  from  Ohio,  wdio  first  began  t()  receive  support  from 
the  congregation  Oct.  15,  1832,  though  he  had  preached  here  for  some  time 
previous  as  a  missionary.  He  was  installed  pastor  May  11,  1833,  by  Rev. 
Samuel  Ingalls  and  Adam  Ritchie,  elder,  who  were  api^ointed  for  that  pur- 
pose by  the  Presbytery  of  Miami,  Ohio,  to  w^iich  this  church  then  belonged. 
This  pastorale  continued  until  Oct.  25,  1817,  after  which  the  church  was 
without  a  pastor  for  two  years.  On  the  25th  of  Oct.,  1849,  Rev.  John 
Scott,  D.  D.,  was  installed  pastor,  and  continued  until  1868.  The  leading 
public  event  which  occurred  during  this  long  pastorate,  was  the  union  of 
the  Associate  Reformed  and  Associate  churches  of  the  United  States,  form- 
ing the  United  Presbyterian  Church.  The  union  was  consummated  by  the 
synods  representing  these  churches  at  Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  May  26,  1858,  and 
afterward  unanimously  approved  by  this  congregation. 

Sometime  in  the  autumn  of  1868,  a  call  was  made  out  for  T.  G.  Mor- 
row, then  a  licentiate,  and  his  ordination  and  installation  as  pastor  took 
place  in  April,  1869.  This  pastorate  continued  for  three  years.  In  the  fall 
of  1873,  Rev.  David  A.  Wallace,  D.  D.,  president  of  Monmouth  College, 
became  pastor,  and  continued  until  tailing  health  from  many  laborious 
duties  cojnpelled  him  to  resign  in  January,  1876.  The  present  pastor  is 
Rev.  David  McDill,  D.  D.,  professor  in  Monmouth  College. 

The  first  house  of  worship  in  this  county  was  built  by  this  congrega- 
tion in  1832.  It  was  made  of  lo^s,  and  was  24  bv  30  feet.  It  was  used  for 
worship  until  1^39,  when  it  was  lar  too  small  to  accommodate  the  congre- 
gation.    Some  persons  often  came  as  far  as  twenty  miles  to  attend  church. 


HISTORY    OF    WARKEN    COUNTY.  129 

In  1837  a  move  was  made  to  build  a  large  brick  clmrcli,  near  the  first.  The 
brick  were  made  upon  the  ground  near  bv,  and  heavy  foundation  walls  of 
stone,  three  feet  thick,  were  laid,  upon  which  arose  the  spacious  edifice  50 
by  64  feet — a  wonder  for  those  days — which  cost  over  $4,000.  This  house, 
too,  was  often  filled  to  overflowing  in  those  early  days.  It  was  used  for 
worship  fur  thirty-five  years — from  1S39  to  lsT4.  The  present  neat  and 
elegant  structure,  40  by  60  feet,  built  in  1^74,  stands  near  a  beautiful  grove, 
and  is  hardly  surpassed  in  its  attractiveness  by  any  edifice  in  the  county. 
It  cost,  including  fixtures  and  furnace,  $4,252,  and  is  all  ]>aid. 

The  present  membership  of  this  church  is  120,  and  the  congregation  is 
in  a  prosperous  condition.  This  church  has  received,  since  its  organization, 
about  700  members.  Many  have  taken  certificates  to  aid  in  the  formation 
of  other  churches.  As  an  outgrowth  from  this  "oldest  church  in  the 
county,"  and  from  Cedar  Creek  church,  there  are  at  the  present  time  7iine 
United  Presbyterian  churches,  with  about  2,000  members. 

The  Cedar  Creek  church,  in  Sumner  township,  was  organized  July  4, 
1835,  as  Associate  Reformed,  by  Rev.  Dr.  Blakie,  now  of  Boston,  Mass. 
It  was  first  called  by  the  very  appropriate  name,  "  Sharon  Church,"  and 
was  the  first  of  this  denomination  in  this  county,  and  probably  for  many 
contiguous  counties  in  this  region. 

The  following  names  are  found  upon  the  oldest  record  as  the  persons 
constituting  the  church  at  the  time  organized  :  John  Giles,  rulino;  elder  ; 
James  Giles,  John  P.  Giles,  Hugh  Martin,  Prudence  Giles,  Nancy  Giles, 
Susannah  Giles,  Margaret  Giles,  Mary  L.  Giles,  Susan  Giles,  Jane  Giles, 
John  Williamson,  James  Campbell,  Mary  Findley,  James  Findley,  Nancy 
Robinson,  George  Jay  and  Mary  A.  Jay — eighteen  in  all.  Dr.  Blakie  had 
been  sent  out  as  a  missionary  of  the  church  into  the  new  settlements  of  the 
West,  and  when  he  found  a  few  who  had  been  members  of  churches  where 
they  had  previously  lived,  he  gathered  them  into  a  church. 

Prior  to  his  coming,  Rev.  John  Wallace,  also  a  missionary,  from  Mon- 
roe county,  Ya.,  had  preached  several  times  at  the  houses  of  some  of  the 
settlers,  and  was  employed  by  the  congregation,  after  the  organization,  as 
stated  supply  for  a  portion  of  his  time  from  1835  to  1840.  The  first  elders 
were  J.  C.  McCrery,  Wm.  Walker  and  Maj.  John  Brown.  Rev.  James  C. 
Porter  came  here  in  1840,  and  was  the  first  pastor— installed  in  1841,  and 
continued  until  near  the  time  of  his  death,  which  occurred  Nov.  15,  1863. 
It  was  during  this  pastorate  that  the  membership  largely  increased.  Also, 
in  1858,  this  church  joined  in  the  union  and  thus  became  United  Presby- 
terian. 

Rev.  John  A.  Reynolds  began  his  work  in  this  church  in  August,  1863, 
and  remained  pastor  until  July,  1872,  nine  years. 

The  present  pastor  is  Rev.  J.  M.  Atchison,  who  commenced  his  labors 
here  Dec.  1,  1872. 

This  congregation  has  built  three  houses  of  worship.  The  first  was  of 
logs,  built  in  1836,  and  stood  about  two  miles  northeast  from  Little  York. 
This  was  occupied  until  1845,  when  a  larger  and  better  edifice  was  needed, 
and  a  frame  structure  was  erected  near  the  first,  and  was  occupied  as  a  liouse 
of  worship  over  twenty  years.  The  present  commodious  house  was  built  in 
1866,  cost  about  $4,000,  and  stands  in  a  beautiful  grove,  three  miles  north- 
east from  Little  York.  This  congregation  also  own  a  pleasant  parsonage, 
situated  one  mile  north  of  the  church.  Not  one  of  the  original  members 
is  now  connected  with  this  congregation;  only  two  are  known  to  be  living — 


130  HISTORY   OF    WARREN   COUNTS'. 

Mrs.  Wallace,  widow  of  Kev.  John  TTallace,  and  Mrs.  Jamison,  now  in 
Floi'ida.  The  present  membership  is  140.  The  total  contributions  for  last 
year,  as  reported,  for  all  church  purposes  were  about  $2,500,  averaofing 
nearly  twenty  dollars  per  member,  showing  a  very  generous  liberality.  This 
congregation  is  in  a  growing  and  prosperous  condition,  has  a  flourishing 
Sabbath-school,  averaging  110,  Superintendent  Zenas  Hogue,  and  a  large 
weekly  district  prayer  meeting,  well  attended  by  old  and  young. 


THE  COUIs^TY  FARM. 

Until  the  year  1857,  the  poor  in  the  county  were  kept  by  the  townships. 
They  were  generally  given  to  the  "lowest  bidder,"  as  it  was  termed,  to  the 
one  who  would  maintain  them  at  the  least  expense  to  the  county.  In 
almost  all  cases  these  were  the  relatives  of  the  person  so  kept.  This 
method  was  uusatisfactorv.  In  June  of  that  vear  the  county,  throui^h  Por- 
ter  Phelps  and  Hiram  Norcross  as  its  agents,  purchased  one  hundred  and 
twenty  acres  of  Luther  Dickson  for  $3,360,  and  on  this  tract  a  house  was 
erected  at  an  expense  of  $2,000,  for  this  class  of  persons. 

Soon  after  Albert  Mitchell,  Esq.,  was  appointed  Superintendent,  and 
in  1859  the  rules  regulating  this  institution  were  adopted. 

The  institution  is  now  in  a  good  condition,occupying  a  commodious  frame 
house.  The  farm  is  about  five  miles  southwest  of  Monmouth,  and  at 
present  sustains  quite  a  number  of  inmates. 


SCHOOL  COMMISSIONERS,  SCHOOL  LANDS,  TRUSTEES  AND 

COUNTY  SUPERINTENDENTS. 

The  initiatory  steps  in  the  Educational  development  of  Warren  County 
consisted  in  the  election  of  the  proper  officers  for  disposing  of  school  lands, 
the  custodians  of  the  funds  raised,  and  the  organization  of  districts.  The 
first  event  in  this  direction  occurred  at  a  regular  meeting  of  the  County 
Commissioners'  Court,  held  in  Monmouth,  Sept.  5th,  1831.  This  court 
consisted  of  Peter  Butler  and  John  B.  Talbot,  County  Commissioners; 
Daniel  McNeil,  County  Clerk;  and  James  Ryerson,  Sherifl".  Alexis  Phelps 
was  appointed  School  Commissioner,  and  executed  his  bond  for  $12,000, 
with  Peter  Butler,  John  B.  Talbot  and  Sheldon  Lockwood  sureties,  which 
was  approved  and  filed  Sept.  7,  1831.  At  the  same  term  of  this  court, 
Robert  Kendall,  James  Murphy  and  Daniel  McNeil  were  appi^inted  Trustees. 

These  otiicers  proceeded  at  once  to  sub-divide  the  school  section  into 
lots  from  1  to  25  inclusive,  and  pursuant  to  public  notice,  said  lands  and  lots 
were  offered  at  public  sale  Oct.  27,  1831.  The  aggregate  amount  of  lands 
and  lots  sold  at  auction  on  that  day  was  200  acres,  ranging  in  price  from 
$1.25  to  $1.62^  per  acre.  The  remainder  of  the  section  was  sold  at  private 
sale,  and  the  first  annual  report  of  the  Commissioner  shows,  total  amount 
received,  $1,754.4(5;  deducting  expenses,  net  proceeds,  $1,39S.38. 

In  tiie  spring  of  1S32  the  following  persons  were  appointed  Trustees  of 
Sumner  Township:  Ilugli  Martin,  Anthony  Cannon  and  James  Barton. 
Lands  were  offered  for  sale  Sept.  8,  1834.  Eighty  acres  were  sold  to  John 
G.  Barton  at  $1.25  per  acre.

and  he  sold  a  part  of  the  lands  of  Spring  Grove  Township,  Dec.  14,  1S43. 
This  officer  w^as  succeeded  by  James  G.  Madden,  during  whose  term  of  office,

ture of  1865,  Sec.  11  of  the  school  law  was  so  amended  that  the  office  of 
school  commissioner  terminated,  and  created  the  office  of  County  Superin- 
tendent. G.  I.  Willson  w^as  the  first  elected  to  this  office,  and  continued  the 
allotted  time,  four  years.  In  1870  J.  B.  Donnell,  the  present  incumbent, 
succeeded  to  this  office. 


"    SCHOOLS. 

The  low  rate  at  which  the  school  lands  were  sold — being  in  most  cases 
not  more  than  six  per  cent,  of  what  was  their  real  value  a  few  years  later 
— -failed  to  create  an  endowment  sufficient  to  establish  and  maintain  a  sys- 
tem of  public  schools.  Hence  schools  were  not  "free,"  and  while  we  had 
all  the  machinery  of  a  j^ublic  school  system,  a  small  per  cent,  only  of  the 
expense  was  paid  from  the  public  funds.  In  order,  then,  to  maintain  schools, 
rate-bills  were  established. 

The  first  school-house  built  in  this  county  was  at  Sugar-Tree  Grove,  in 
Hale  Township,  in  1832.  It  was  made  of  logs,  and  was  14x16  ft.  For 
windows  there  was  one  log  sawed  out,  and  small  panes  of  glass  placed  in 
around  the  room.  The  floor  was  puncheon,  as  also  were  the  seats  and 
desks.  This  house  w^as  used  for  school  for  about  eight  years,  when  it  was 
burned.  The  first  teacher  in  the  county  taught  this  school.  Miss  Martha 
Junkin,  from  Ohio.  People  came  from  the  distance  of  four  and  five  miles, 
showing  much  interest  under  the  difficulties  experienced  in  early  education, 
as  in  other  matters. 


132  HISTORY    OF   WARREN   COUNTY. 

On  March  6,  1834,  School  District  No.  1,  Monmouth  Township 
was  organized,  consisting  of  twelve  sections  in  said  township,  and  four  sec- 
tions in  Hale  Township.  We  give  below  a  verbatim  copy  of  the  first 
annual  reports  of  Trustees  ot  Monmouth  District  'No.  1,  filed  in  October, 
1834. 

"There  are  in  this  district  fifty  children  over  five  and  under  twenty-one 
years  of  age.  There  has  been  a  school  kept  three  montlis  since  the  organ- 
ization of  this  district.  Twenty-five  children  have  received  tuition.  The 
probable  expense  will  be  forty-five  dollars.

This  school  was  "kept"  in  a  log  house  with  a  dirt  floor,  and  used  for 
the  common  purpose  of  church,  court  house  and  school.  It  was  situated  on 
the  southeast  corner  of  Main  and  Xorth  streets,  and  afterwards  used  for  a 
blacksmitli  shop.  In  1835  a  small  fi-ame  school  house  was  built  on  the 
present  site  of  the  M.  E.  Church,  but  by  no  means  were  all  the  educational 
advantages  afforded  the  youth  in  those  days,  to  be  found  in  the  public 
schools.  In  fact,  they  were  not  provided  till  about  twenty  years  later.  It 
was  at  best  but  little  chea]ier  nor  more  efiicient  than  the  jirivate  or  select 
schools.  Good  and  efficient  teachers  were  sometimes  employed,  but  after 
serving  one  or  two  terms,  it  was  common  for  them  to  throw  off"  the 
restraints  of  a  School  Board,  and  set  up  independently.  Among  the  earlier 
teachers  whose  names  are  remembered,  are  Messrs.  McElray,  Crandall, 
Weltman,  Kellum,  Eandall  and  Gilbert  Turnbull.  The  first  female  teacher 
was  Mrs.  Montgomery,  who  taught  in  her  own  room  in  a  house  on  the 
present  site  of  B.  Parkes  dwelling.  This  room  was  afterwards  rented  to 
Miss  Paine,  now  Mrs.  Gibson,  who  taught  successfully  for  a  number  of 
terms. 

Mr.  Wellman,  who  seems  to  be  most  distinctly  remembered  as  a  peda- 
gogue, taught  in  a  log  bouse,  on  the  northeast  corner  of  Broad.way  and 
West  Avenue.  Other  rooms  were  occupied,  from  time  to  time  R.  D. 
Hammond  was  the  last  teacher  to  occupy  the  old  pioneer  school  house, 
liobert  Gibson  taught  at  the  same  time,  on  the  north  side  of  the  square, 
where  now  stands  J.  B.  Martin's  market  house.  In  1848,  the  pioneer  house 
was  removed,  and  a  more  pretending  edifice  erected  on  the  same  ground. 
It  had  now  become  the  duty  of  teachers  to  obtain  certificates  of  qualifica- 
tion from  the  Commissioner,  Mdio  was  by  law  also  Superintendent  of  Scliools. 
In  1854,  a  Mr.  Gray,  teacher  in  the  public  school,  abandoned  it,  "because," 
to  use  his  own  words,  "it  didn't  pay."  At  the  same  time,  W.  B.  Jenks 
was  teaching  a  flourishing  private  school  in  the  Prej-byterian  church,  and 
Miss  Julia  Madden  another  in  the  Christian  church.  The  public  school 
was  revived  again  by  Mr.  A.  II.  Tracy,  wdio  opened  his  first  term  with 
nineteen  pupils,  and  closed  with  ninety-one.  Mr.  Tracy,  assisted  by  his 
wife,  taught  with  success  for  several  terms.  In  October,  1855,  all  public 
schools  were  made  free,  by  virtue  of  the  two  mill  tax. 

And  here  dates  a  new  era  in  the  history  of  schools  of  the  county  and 
state.  The  first  effect  of  this  change  was  to  kill  out  the  private  or  select 
schools,  which  had  been  so  largely  relied  i;pon,  and  to  more  than  double  the 
number  of  pupils  seeking  instruction.  Public  attention  Avas  at  once  directed 
to  the  necessity  of  providing  more  am])le  accommodations  ;  and  new  school 
houses  became  the  order  of  the  day.  Something  more  than  ample  funds  and 
good  houses  was  required  to  meet  the  growling  responsibilities,  resulting  from 


HISTORY    OF    WARREN   COUNTY.  1.33 

the  new  order  of  things,  and  what  was  true  of  Warren  county,  was  equally  so 
of  the  state  at  large.  At  a  state  convention  of  education,  held  in  Chicago, 
in  December,  1S56,  much  interest  and  new  life  was  given  to  the  system  of 
public  instruction,  resulting  from  its  deliberations.  Among  those  who  took 
active  ]iart  in  discussions,  Avere  Xewton  Bateman,  Wm.  Bross,  Simeon 
AV'right,  Supt.  "Wells,  and  Prof.  Turner.  At  this  convention  it  was  deter- 
mined to  employ  a  state  agent,  for  one  year,  to  labor  throughout  the  state 
in  the  interest  of  the  public  schools  ;  whose  salary  was  $1,800,  to  be  paid 
bv  contributions.  Warren  county  was  represented  in  the  convention  by 
John  A.  Gordon,  A.  H.  Tracy,  and  D.  R.  Stevens.  Prof  Simeon  Wright 
was  selected  for  the  work  of  state  agent,  and  Warren  count}'  enjoyed  his 
services  for  a  number  of  days.  The  result  proved  all  the  most  sanguine 
had  hoiked.  Graded  schools  sprang  up  as  by  magic,  all  over  the  state,  and 
public  opinion  took  a  long  stride  in  the  direction  of  progress  and  reform, 
and  from  these  labors  and  efforts  are  due  tlie  present  type  of  public 
instruction. 

AYARREX   COUNTY  AGRICULTURAL  SOCIETY. 

The  Wan-en  County  Agricultural  Society  was  organized  August  7, 
ls52,  at  a  public  meeting  held  at  the  court  house  in  Monmouth.  The 
following  temporary  officers  were  then  selected  :  Samuel  Hallam,  President  ; 
J.  G.  Madden,  Secretary  ;  G.  W.  Palmer,  Vice  President  ;  F.  B.  Weakley, 
Treasurer.  The  first  annual  election  was  held  September  4,  1S52,  resulting 
as  follows  :  Samuel  Hallam,  President  ;  Robt.  Gibson,  Yice  President ;  J. 
G.  Madden,  Secretary  ;  Wm.  Billings,  Treasurer. 

The  first  annual  Fair  was  held  in  the  court  house  on  Friday,  Oct.  15, 
1S52.  One  thousand  people  were  in  attendance.  The  premiums  consisted 
of  certificates,  no  cash  prizes  being  offered.  From  tliis  small  beginning 
the  Society's  annual  exhibition  has  advanced  to  a  position  as  one  of  the  best 
County  Fairs  in  the  state.  Over  $3,000  are  annually  offered  in  premiums  ; 
the  Fair  is  continued  four  days,  and  the  total  yearly  attendance  is  about 
twenty-five  thousand.  Fair  week  is  observed*^  as  a  general  holiday,  and 
entire" families  flock  in  from  all  parts  of  AYarren  and  adjacent  counties. 
The  Society  owns  extensive  grounds,  and  suitable  and  commodious  build- 
ings, valued  at  about  $12,000. 

The  present  officers  of  the  association  are  :  President,  John  B. 
McGinnis  ;  Vice  President,  A.  H.  Swain  ;  Secretary,  Geo.  C.  Rankin  ; 
Treasurer,  Robt.  M.  Stevenson.  Executive  Committee  :  R.  S.  Patton,  C.  L. 
Buck,  C.  Hardin,  L.  D.  Robiuhon,  J.  T.  Richards,  II.  D.  Harding,  J.  E. 
Alexander,  E.  R.  Houlton,  L.  II.  Gilmore. 

The  twentv-sixth  annual  Fair  will  occur  September  11,  12,  13,  and  14, 
1877. 

WARREX  COUNTY  LIBRARY"  AXD  READING  ROOM  ASSO- 
CIATION. 

This  Library  has  resulted  from  a  number  of  movements  iu  the  direc- 
tion of  a  Public  Library.  The  matter  was  considered  and  discussed  in  a 
variety  of  forms,  tor  years  before  it  reached  a  successful  organization. 

In  1867  the  attempt  was  made   to  start  a  Library  as  a  joint  stock 


134  HISTORY    OF    WAEREN    COUNTY. 

association  ;  but  the  subscriptions  were  insufficient.  The  same  year,  the 
Evano-elical  Union  of  Monmouth,  composed  of  representatives  of  the 
churches  in  Monmouth,  took  the  subject  under  consideration,  and  gave  it  a 
new  impulse.  After  consultation  with  many  citizens,  who  were  willing  to 
assist,  it  was  determined  to  form  a  corporation  independent  of  the  Evan- 
gelical Union. 

It  was  evident  that  a  Public  Library,  such  as  was  demanded  to  meet 
the  wants,  common  and  special,  of  this  intelligent  community,  would  need 
a  large  amount  of  money  given  for  this  purpose.  Accordingly,  a  Trust 
Corporation  was  organized,  after  the  manner  of  many  of  the  oldest  and 
most  successful  institutions  of  the  East,  for  benevolent  and  educational 
purposes.  The  Constitution  and  Kules  were  drafted  by  Hon.  Ivory  Quimby, 
whose  sound  judgment  and  deep  interest  in  the  project  assured  a  good 
beginning  in  this  important  respect.  He  also  provided  a  room,  free  of 
expense,  until  his  death. 

Twenty-five  persons  became  responsible  for  the  sum  of  twenty-five 
hundred  dollars,  for  the  purpose  of  sustaining  a  Reading  Eoom  during  two 
years.  These  original  In;-orporators  and  Directors  were  the  following : 
J.  E.  Alexander,  F.  E.  Armsby,  Draper  Babcock,  F.  M.  Bruner,  W.  G. 
Bone,  J.  S.  Clark,  J.  L.  Dryden,  Chancy  Hardin,  Robert  Holloway,  A.  H. 
Holt,  J.  M.  Jameison,  Wm.  Laferty,  James  Long,  R.  C.  Matthews,  W.  P. 
Pressly,  D.  P.  Phelps,  Ivory  Quimby,  N.  A.  Rankin,  J.  K.  Ripley,  T.  H. 
Rogers,  E.  R.  Smith,  A.  H.  Swain,  Wm.  Smiley,  D.  A.  Wallace,  J.  R. 
Webster. 

A  Reading  Room,  well  supplied  with  papers  and  periodicals  was 
opened  June  1st,  1868,  under  the  name  of  the  Monmouth  Reading  Room 
and  Library.  This  was  sustained  for  two  years.  No  books  were  bought, 
as  there  were  no  funds  for  that  purpose. 

During  all  this  time,  unknown  to  any  one,  these  small  beginnings  were 
closely  considered  by  a  friend,  who  was  only  waiting  to  see  the  evidences 
of  permanent  success  and  usefulness.  Early  in  the  year  1870,  Mr.  W.  P. 
Pressly  made  an  offer  of  the  gift  of  a  Library  Building,  which  he  erected 
the  same  year.  This  building  was  given  with  the  condition,  that  the  net 
rents  of  the  two  storerooms  on  the  first  floor  should  be  used  to  buy  books, 
and  the  second  story  should  be  used  as  a  Library  Hall  and  Reading  Room. 
He  expressed  the  desire  that  the  plan  of  the  Library  should  be  enlarged,  so 
as  to  benefit  the  country  as  well  as  the  city.  The  following  are  his  published 
words:  "Insomuch  as  under  God  we  are  principally  indebted  to  the 
citizens  of  the  counti'y  for  the  means  to  be  used  in  its  construction,  if  for 
no  higher  motive,  gratitude  towards  them  bids  us  now  remember  them  as 
a  party  to  be  benefited,  and  thus  made  a  party  interested  in  patronizing  and 
sustaining  their  own  Institution."  It  was  therefore  legally  incorporated 
as  "The  Warren  County  Library  and  Reading  Room  Association,"  and 
special  provisions  were  made  for  the  benefit  of  readers  in  the  country. 

The  same  year  the  Board  of  County  Supervisors  united  in  the  perma- 
nent founding  of  the  Library,  by  making  a  grant  thereto  "Of  all  rents, 
profits  and  issues  hereafter  accruing  from  the  Seminary  Block,"  and  receiv- 
ing the  right  in  the  Constitution  of  the  Association  to  appoint  one  of  the 
Trustees.  Dr.  Henry  Tubbs  has  held  that  ])osition  ever  since,  by  repeated 
appointments  from  the  Board  of  Supervisors.  Under  his  judicious  super- 
vision, the  Constitution  was  amended,  making  equitable  provision  for  the 
entire  county. 


HISTORY    OF    WARREN    COUNTY.  135 

The  income  from  the  County  Grant  is  required  to  l>e  devoted  to  the 
purchase  of  books,  most  of  wliich  must  l)e  in  the  Department  of  Ai^ricult- 
ure  and  the  Practical  Arts.  In  this  way,  according  to  the  Charter,  any 
Department  can  be  founded,  bearing  the  name  of  the  founder,  and  restricted 
to  any  special  class  of  books. 

The  plan  of  extending  the  use  of  the  Library  to  the  country,  has  been 
eminently  a  success.  It  is  used  in  everj'-  township  in  the  county  ;  and  it 
has  brought  within  its  sphere  a  population  sufficiently  large  to  support  and 
use  a  strong  and  well  equipped  library.  For  this  purpose  the  population  of 
the  city  alone  is  not  sufficient,  as  the  general  experience  of  libraries  has 
shown.  The  hand  that  gave  to  the  Library  this  opportunit}-  for  extended 
usefulness  has  continued  to  strengthen  and  cherish  it.  It  has  received 
from  him,  again  and  again,  for  the  purpose  of  printing  a  catalogue,  for  the 
enlargement  of  the  lot,  and  for  the  increase  of  the  endowment  tund.  This 
community  has  never  received  from  any  other  citizen  as  large  a  public  gift 
as  it  has  from  Mr.  Pressly. 

As  the  Librar}'  was  founded  for  the  benefit  of  all,  it  has  been  sustained 
and  favored  by  all  classes  of  citizens  in  town  and  country.  The  young  and 
the  old  are  constantly  to  be  seen  at  its  tables.  The  ladies,  by  various  efforts, 
furnished  the  room,  and  none  frequent  it  more  than  they.  Farmers  for  ten 
or  fifteen  miles  around  use  the  books  and  magazines  in  their  homes.  Pro- 
fessional men  and  business  men  have  given  freely  to  its  support  in  money, 
and  what  is  equally  important,  in  careful  attention  to  its  interests.  Fore- 
most among  such  should  be  named  the  late  and  lamented  AVm.  Laferty, 
who  was  for  eight  years  its  treasurer.  Each  year  he  gave  it  a  generous  gift, 
and  he  gave  to  it  much  time  and  affectionate  attention.  His  practical  busi- 
ness ability  and  excellent  judgment  have  been  of  untold  value  to  it  during 
these  years  when  its  character  was  formino^. 

Much  of  the  work  which  has  made  the  Library  successful  has  been 
gratuitously  done  by  the  officers,  trustees,  directors  and  various  commit- 
tees. The  business  matters  have  alwaj's  been  in  the  hands  of  careful  busi- 
ness men  in  the  Committees  on  the  Building  and  on  Finance,  and  on  the 
Auditing  Committee.  The  selection  of  reading  matter  is  done  by  a  com- 
mittee representing  both  town  and  county.  A  committee  on  Book  Notices 
calls  attention  through  the  press  to  the  best  reading.  A  committee  of 
Reference  give  their  aid  in  the  room  to  readers  desiring  information  or 
guidance.  A  cataloguing  committee  does  the  current  cataloguing  and  pre- 
pares the  bulletins. 

The  most  approved  methods  of  lil)rary  management  are  in  use.  A 
printed  catalogue  was  issued  in  ISTrt,  and  monthly  bulletins  have  been 
printed  since,  showing  what  accessions  have  been  made.  An  indicator 
shows  what  volumes  or  magazines  are  on  the  shelves,  and  what  are  in  use. 
A  card  catalogue  has  just  been  constructed,  from  the  bulletins,  to  supple- 
ment the  catalogue  of  1874.  Special  manuscript  bulletins  ar-;  posted  up  in 
the  room  from  time  to  time,  giving  lists  of  works  on  subjects  of  present 
interest.  Readers  are  urged  to  recomniend  books  for  ])urchase,  with  the 
assurance  that  such  will  be  bought  unless  good  reason  ei^sts  to  the  con- 
trary. New  books  are  bought  each  month.  The  reading  is  fresh,  popular 
and  wholesome.  The  selections  are  made  with  careful  fairness  toward  all 
classes  of  readers,  and  careful  regard  for  the  good  of  the  community.  That 
which  is  worthless  or  immoral  is  not  bought,  oris  withdrawn  if  accidentally 
obtained. 


186  HISTORY    OF    WARREN    COUNTY. 

The  proportion  of  books  bought  in  different  departments  is  determined 
raainlj  b}"  the  reading  and  requests  of  adult  readers,  except  where  special 
funds  are  provided  for  some  department,  as  is  the  case  for  M'orks  on  agricul- 
ture and  the  useful  arts.  According  to  this  rule  the  selections  are  about 
one-third  in  science,  arts,  philosophy  and  general  literature;  one-third  in 
history,  biography  and  travels;  one-third  in  fiction  and  poetry. 

The  number  of  volumes  in  the  library  (April  2,  1877,)  is  4,850.  Of 
these  600  have  been  donated  by  citizens,  and  4,250  purchased.  For  this 
purpose  the  Pressly  rents  produce  one  thousand  dollars  per  year,  and  the 
county  grant  about  three  hundred  dollars  per  year.  About  800  volumes  are 
added  each  year.  One  hundred  and  twenty  magazines  and  papers  are  regu- 
larly received.  Many  of  these  are  gifts  from  friends.  The  last  year's  cir- 
culation of  books  M'as  16,564.  The  daily  attendance  in  the  reading  room 
averages  about  120.  About  1,000  persons  use  the  library.  The  permanent 
funds  have  increased  each  year  by  donations  and  sale  of  perpetual  tickets. 
That  which  is  received  by  gift  goes  to  the  permanent  upbuilding  of  the  in- 
stitution. The  small  charge  made  for  the  use  of  the  library  is  only  intended 
to  cover  current  expenses,  as  salaries,  fuel,  etc.  The  building  and  books  are 
provided  without  expense  to  readers.  Many  of  the  citizens  of  the  county 
have  obtained  perpetual  tickets,  giving  to  their  families  the  continual  use  of 
the  library.  About  one-half  the  settled  ministers  of  the  county  now  have 
tree  use  of  the  librarj'  by  the  kindness  of  friends  who  have  purchased  this 
right  for  them.  This  privilege  is  gladly  extended  in  this  way  to  any  person 
or  class  for  whom  tickets  are  provided,  either  annual  or  perpetual.  The 
library  has  one  price  and  one  rule  for  all.  The  charge  is  as  low  as  it  can 
safely  be  made.  But  there  is  no  limit  to  the  extent  to  which  perpetual  free 
tickets  can  be  endowed  by  those  who  wish  to  benefit  others,  or  their  own 
families,  in  this  way. 

It  is  needful  to  remember  that  only  six  years  have  elapsed  since  the 
library  was  first  opened  for  loan  of  books.  Its  plan  includes  many  impor- 
tant features  not  yet  attempted  for  want  of  sufficient  means,  such  as  a  free 
reading  room,  branch  libraries  at  other  points,  special  .departments  of  books 
not  in  general  demand,  full  and  frequent  catalogues,  endowed  free  tickets, 
and  methods  of  extending  the  usefnlness  of  the  institution. 

In  all  that  has  been  done,  this  rule  has  been  constantly  followed  :  "  Pay 
as  you  go."  This  principle  has  been  impresse.i  upon  the  enterprise  by  the 
prudent  business  men  who  have  founded  and  prohibited  the  incurring  of 
debts  and  the  attempting  of  more  than  the  means  warrant.  Thus  a  founda- 
tion has  been  laid,  broad  and  deep,  on  which  the  future  will  build.  Already, 
as  a  county  library  it  has  no  superior,  and  it  has  obtained  a  high  name  and 
position  among  the  public  libraries  of  the  AVest.

MONMOUTH. 

On  the  27th  day  of  January,  1831,  the  Legislature  appointed  John  G. 
Sanborn,  Hazen  Bedell,  and  John  McNeil,  coramissionei's,  to  locate  the 
permanent  seat  of  justice,  and  on  the  7tli  of  April  following  they,  in  a 
sealed  package,  directed  to  the  county  commissioners  : 

"  Respectfully  report  that  we  have  located  the  seat  of  justice  for  said 
county,  on  the  south-west  quarter  of  Section  twenty-nine,  in  township 
Eleven  North,  and  range  Two  west  of  the  Fourth  principal  meridian, 
which  said  quarter  section  is  reported  and  believed  to  be  Congress  land,  and 
they  have  given  the  said  seat  of  justice  the  name  of  Monmouth." 

At  the  court,  held  June  12,  1831,  orders  for  proposals  to  erect^a  court- 
house were  issued  as  follows  ;  *  *  *  "  That  said  proposals  be  received, 
and  contracts  entered  into  for  the  purpose  of  building  a  court-house  of 
twenty  by  twenty-two  feet  on  the  ground,  nine  feet  between  the  sleepers 
and  joists,  to  be  built  of  logs  hewn  down  inside  and  out,  and  finished  as 
the  county  commissioners  shall  direct,  at  the  time  and  place  aforesaid,  and 
in  such  lot  as  they  shall  designate." 

The  contract  for  building  the  court-house,  after  the  usual  manner  of 
crying  it,  was  let  to  Francis  Kendall  for  the  sum  of  fifty-seven  dollars.  To 
this  he  was  allowed  three  dollars  for  additional  expense  incurred.  The 
Commissioners'  Court  had  met  just  si^  days  previous  to  this,  and  ordered 
a  sale  of  lots  in  the  town  of  Monmouth.  The  site  had  been  surveyed  by  the 
surveyor,  Peter  Butler,  for  which  he  received  twenty-one  cents  per  lot, 
three  hundred  and  twenty  stakes  being  required.  The  order  for  sale  read 
as  follows  :  "  The  highest  and  best  bidder  to  be  the  purchaser,  provided 
the  larjre  or  out  lots  be  not  sold,  unless  the  bid  offered  shall  amount  to  at 
least  two  dollars  per  acre. 

"The  bid  on  the  in  lots  be  not  less  than  four  dollars  per  lot,  and  those 
adjoining  the  public  square  not  to  be  sold  unless  the  bid  offered  be  at  least 
ten  dollars  per  lot. 

"The  lots  will  be  offered,  with  a  few  exceptions,  alternately,  and  the  pur- 
chaser or  purchasers  will  receive  a  certificate  of  purchase,  and  required  to 
give  three  separate  notes  of  equal  payments  with  approved  security,  pay- 
able in  twelve,  eighteen  and  twenty-four  months,  subject  to  a  discount  of 


142  HISTORY    OF   WAREEN    COUNTY. 

twelve  and  a  half  per  cent,  on  all  moneys  paid  for  said  lots  before  due,  cal- 
culating from  the  time  paid  ;  also  subject  to  a  discount  of  twelve  and  a 
haif  per  cent,  on  the  amount  or  price  of  each  lot,  on  which  a  comfortable 
cabin  or  dwelling-house,  store,  grocery,  or  mechanic's  shop  shall  be  erected 
and  finished  suitable  to  live  in,  within  one  year  from  the  sale  of  said  lot.'- 

At  this  sale,  held  on  June  6th,  forty-six  purchases  were  made  and 
recorded,  aggregating  in  value  $965.62^. 

At  the  Special  Term  of  the  Commissioners'  Court,  held  July  9,  1830, 
it  was 

''  On  motion,  ordered,  That  the  temporary  county  seat  of  justice,  or 
place  of  holding  County  Commissioners  courts  and  Circuit  courts,  for  the 
county  of  Warren,  be  held  (until  the  permanent  seat  be  located)  at  the 
upper  house  of  Mr.  Alexis  Phelps,  at  the  Yellow  Banks,  now  Oquawka,  Hen- 
derson countv,  on  fractional  section  Fifteen,  in  town  Eleven  north  of  Eange 
Five  West."" 

The  court-house  was  ready  for  occupancy  early  in  the  summer,  and  the 
records  (M'hat  few  there  were)  were  at  once  taken  there.  During  the  sum- 
mer and  autumn  but  six  buildings  were  erected,  beside  the  court-house 
and  jail.  The  former  occupied  the  lot  afterwards  purchased  by 
Capt.  D.  T.  Denman,  and  on  which  his  residence  stood,  while  the  latter 
was  situated  on  the  lot  afterwards  occupied  by  the  wagon  shop  of  William 

The  first  settlers  were  Daniel  McXeil,  Joel  Hargrove,  and  Elijah  Da- 
vidson, of  whom  one,  the  latter,  is  now  living. 

The  first  mentioned  of  these  persons  opened  the  pioneer  store  of  Mon- 
mouth; Daniel  McNeil,  the  second;  Stapp  and  Berry,  the  third,  and  the 
fourth  by  McCallon  and  Gibson. 

To  open  a  grocery  at  that  time,  it  was  necessary  to  obtain  a  town 
license,  in  which  generally  was  specified  the  prices  to  be  charged  for  articles 
used  in  the  keeping  of  customers.  It  appears  that  these  trades  people  were 
accustomed  to  often  combine  the  privilege  of  entertaining  travelers  with  the 
grocery  business,  as  there  is  on  record  in  the  county  ofiice  many  items  like 
the  followincf : 

"  For  each  meal  victuals,  -  -  -      25      cents. 

"For  each  night's  lodging,    -  -  -  634  cents. 

"  For  horse  kept  over  night,       -  -  -      25      cents. 

"  For  horse  feed,         -    "      -  -  -  121.3  cents. 

"  For  1^  pint  whiskey,  gin,  mm,  wine  or  cordial,  I2I2  cents. 
"  For  3^  pint  peach,  I'rench  or  apple  brandy,        25      cents." 

The  above  "  scale  of  prices  "  was  granted  on  November  25, 1835,  when 
Warren  county  contained,  according  to  a  census  taken  then,  2,623  inhabi- 
tants, and  was  twentv-six  miles  Inroad  and  thirtv-six  miles  lonor;  and  when

Monmouth  contained  but  seven  houses,  according  to  some  authorities,  and 
about  eighty  inhabitants,  although,  by  the  close  of  the  year  1S37,  there 
were  eig-htv  houses  and  400  inhabitants. 

At  the  December  term  of  the  County  Commissioners  Court,  in  1834, 
the  first  license  to  keep  a  tavern  in  Monmouth  was  granted  to  James  M. 
Garrison,  who  gave  a  bond  of  $200,  and  paid  for  this  license  §5.00.  The  fol- 
lowing were  the  rates  fixed  in  the  license  : 

''  Each  meal  of  victuals,             ....  25      cents. 

"  Lodging  per  night,            .....  I.2I2  cents. 

"  Or  if  single  bed  be  demanded,           -            -            -  6)4  cents. 

"  Keeping  horse  per  night,              -           -           -           -  25     cents. 


HISTORY    OF    WAREEN    COUNTY.  143 

"  Single  ft'cd  for  horse,  -----  1232  cents. 

"  Each  half  pint  of  wine,  rum,  gin  or  brandy  of  any  kind,  25      cent.s. 
"  (Less  quantity  in  same  proportion.) 

"  Each  half  pint  of  whiskej-,  -  .  -  -      I2i^  cents. 

"Each  gill  of  whiskey,  -  -  -  -  6I4  cents." 

The  licenses  for  opening  stores  were  generally  from  seven  to  ten  dollars 
and  were  renewable  each  year.  S.  Phelps  &  Co.  were  granted  one  at  the 
June  term,  ls35,  for  §8.00.  Elijah  Davidson,  the  first  grocery  man,  was 
given  his  license  December  5,  1881,  for  $2.50.  He  was  appointed  county 
treasurer  in  the  spring  of  1832,  and  held  the  office  several  years.  Martin 
^IcCowen  was  granted  license  to  open  a  grocery  in  1884,  and,  as  in  all  gro- 
cery licenses,  the  rates  of  charges  were  also  given.  W.  B.  Stapp  and  ^V .  S. 
Berry  were  granted  license  to  '*  vend  merchandise"  in  the  summer  of  1835, 
and  paid  sll  license  fee.  At  the  same  time  Ferdinand  Vandyke  and 
AV^illiam  Tracy  received  their  permits  for  the  same  purpose.  James  P. 
Hogue,  James  McCallon  and  AV.  F.  Smith's  permits  were  given  at  the 
same  time,  and  from  that  time,  names  of  the  old  merchants  often  appear 
on  the  old  records,  showing  that  Monmouth  was  increasing  rapidly  in 
business  and  population.  During  these  five  years  it  had  only  been  a 
village,  but  the  citizens  were  activel}-  discussing  the  feasibility  of  formino- 
a  town  government,  and  enjoying  a  town's  privileges.  James  McCallon, 
Daniel  McNeil,  Jr.,  and  others,  were  the  most  energetic  in  this  move,  and 
finally  in  compliance  with  the  general  demand,  posted  notices  in  the  most 
conspicuous  places  in  town,  said  notices  informing  the  ''  legally  qualified 
voters  of  the  town  of  Monmouth"  that  a  meeting  to  determine  this  ques- 
tion would  be  held  at  the  school  house  on  ^November  29,  1836.  The 
proceedings  to  incorporate  Monmouth  as  a  town,  as  recorded,  were 
commenced  at  this  date.  These  proceedings  were  under  the  general 
law  of  the  State  in  force  at  that  time,  being  the  act  approved  February 
12,  1831,  entitled  "an  act  to  incorporate  the  inhabitants  of  such  towns 
as  may  wish  to  be  incorporated."  Ten  days  prior  to  November  29th, 
a  notice  had  been  publicly  posted  up  in  compliance  to  law,  and  in 
pursuance  of  this  call  "  the  male  citizens  of  the  town  of  Monmouth" 
met  at  the  school  house  at  this  date,  and  having  organized  by  calling 
Elijah  Davidson  to  he  chair,  and  Harry  Jennings  as  clerk,  "the  object 
of  the  meetino:  was  fuliv  set  forth"  and  voting  for  and  against  the 
incorporation  of  the  town  commenced.  Twenty-three  votes  were  cast  in 
favor  of  the  incorporation  and  none  against. 

The  voters  were:  Wm.  F.  Smith,  Daniel  McXeil,  Jr.,  E.  AV.  McMillen, 
MorJecai  Mc  Bride,  B.  F,  Berry,  Yost  Hufiman,  J.  J,  Caldwell,  G.  W. 
Vaugan,  J.  P.  Hogue,  Samuel  Brazelton,  Geo.  H.  "Wright,  Alex.  Hogue, 
F.  "V^andyke,  James  McCallon,  S.  T.  McBride,  Thos.  Butler,  Andrew 
liobiiison,  Frank  Kendell,  Peter  I.  Dodge,  Thos.  G.  Hogue,  Elijah  David- 
son, Harry  Jennings  and  Alex.  Bitchie. 

It  was  at  once  ordered  that  an  election  be  held  on  December  5tli 
following,  for  five  trustees  to  serve  twelve  months,  or  until  their  successors 
were  qualified.  At  this  time  Elijah  Davidson,  Daniel  McXeil.  Jr.,  James 
McCallon.  Alex,  liitchie  and  George  H.  \\' right  were  duly  elected,  and  at 
once  qualified. 

Daniel  McXeil,  Jr.,  was  chosen  President  of  this  Board  of  Trustees  and 
Harry  Jennings,  Clerk  and  Treasurer.  The  first  official  act  of  this  Board 
was  the  passing  of  the  following  ordinance,  at  their  meeting  held  on  Decem- 
ber 26,  at  the  house  of  James  McCallon  : 


14:4  HISTORY    OF   WARREN   COUNTY. 

"Ordinance  1st. — Be  it  ordained  by  the  President  and  Trustees  of  the 
Town  of  Monmouth,  in  council  convened,  that  the  corporation  and  jurisdic- 
tion of  the  officers  of  the  Town  of  Monmouth  be  one-half  mile  east,  one- 
half  mile  west,  one-half  mile  south  and  one-half  mile  north  from  the  center 
of  the  Public  Square,  containing  one  mile  square." 

Other  ordinances  were  also  passed  for  the  government  of  the  town,  for 
the  regulation  of  public  houses  and  groceries,  the  punishment  of  offenders, 
regulating  the  running  at  large  of  stock  and  any  and  all  affairs  pertaining 
to  the  welfare  of  a  town. 

Under  this  form  of  government  the  town  was  controlled,  with  several 
changes  in  the  rulers,  until  1852,  when  the  General  Assembly  passed  the 
following  Act,  approved  June  21st,  of  that  year  : 

"  Section  1. — Be  it  enacted  by  the  people  of  the  State  of  Illinois,  rep- 
resented in  the  General  Assembly,  That  the  inhabitants  of  the  Town  of 
Monmouth,  in  the  county  of  Warren  and  State  of  Illinois,  be,  and  are 
hereby  constituted  a  body  politic  and  corporate,  by  the  name  and  style  of 
'  The  City  of  Monmouth,'  and  by  that  name  shall  have  perpetual  succession, 
and  may  have  and  use  a  common  seal,  which  they  may  change  and  alter  at 
pleasure." 

Section  second  fixes  the  boundaries  at  one  mile  from  the  center  of  the 
Public  Square,  each  way,  and  section  third  provides  for  the  division  of  the 
city  into  two  wards. 

From  that  time  forward  the  government  has  remained  unchanged,  save 
that  the  increase  in  population  has  made  more  wards  and  an  increased  num- 
ber of  councilmen,  there  being  two  from  each  ward.  The  first  election  for 
mayor  and  other  officers,  under  this  act,  was  held  on  Saturday,  October  23, 
1852.  Samuel  Wood  was  elected  to  that  office,  and  four  aldermen,  from 
the  two  wards,  who  convened  for  the  trauoaction  of  business  on  November 
3d,  and  fairly  launched  the  city  under  the  new  government. 

Until  the  advent  of  the  C,  B.  &  Q.  Railroad,  in  1854,  the  grow^th  ot 
Monmouth  was  slow.  That  year,  however,  the  town  sprang  into  active  life, 
and  improvements  of  every  kind  began  to  be  made.  The  next  year  the 
college,  whose  history  appears  elsewhere,  was  located,  and  gave  an  additional 
impetus  to  persons  looking  for  an  intellectual  home.  A  few  years  after,  the 
library  was  founded,  and  made  another  prominent  attraction.  Good  hotels 
were  built,  fine  stores  appeared,  and  the  Union  Hall,  one  of  the  largest  in 
this  part  of  the  State,  was  erected. 

A  fire  company  is  now  sustained,  and  but  little  danger  is  apprehended 
from  that  dread  element. 

There  are  three  good  banks,  two  excellent  weekly  papers,  and  a  monthly, 
issued  in  the  interests  of  the  college. 

Eleven  churches  are  sustained,  whose  membership  will  aggregate  over 
two  thousand.  * 

The  city  is  divided  into  four  wards,  in  each  of  which  a  good  school  is 
maintained. 

The  Post-Office. — Daniel  McNeil  was  the  earliest  postmaster  appointed 
in  the  county.  On  September  10,  1830,  lie,  acting  as  county  clerk,  advised 
the  Postmaster  General  at  Washington  City,  that  the  county  of  Warren 
was  now  established  according  to  law.  and  that  the  county  seat  was  estab- 
lished at  Lower  Yellow  Banks,  on  the  Mississippi  River,  on  the  9th  of  July, 
preceding.  This  place  being  about  half  way  between  Des  Moines  River 
and  Rock  River  rapids,  did  "request  the  Postmaster  General  to  establish 


HISTORY    Oi*    WARREN   COUNTY.  145 

tlie  post-office,  to  be  called  the  '  Warren  Court  House  Post-Office,'  and 
further  request  him  to  forward  the  mail  iini'.iediately  to  said  office  from 
Fulton  county,  Schuyler  county,  or  from  Yenus,  Hancock  county."  This 
request  was  complied  with,  and  Mr.  McNeil  appointed  to  the  office.  As 
soon  as  the  Indian  hostilities  commenced,  he  was  compelled  to  remove  from 
YeUow  Banks  to  a  place  of  safety.  He  came  to  Monmouth,  but  there 
being  no  house  there,  he  repaired  to  an  old  camp,  about  a  mile  northeast. 
This  he  repaired  and  occupied  some  time,  and  here,  during  the  first  week, 
his  wife  killed  two  large  rattlesnakes  in  the  house.  He  carried  the  letters 
generally  in  his  hat,  and  when  meeting  any  one  for  whom  he  had  mail, 
would  hail  them,  take  oif  his  hat  and  deliver  them  their  letters.  On  one 
occasion,  on  removing  his  portable  post-office,  the  mail  was  blown  away  by 
a  tierce  wind  prevailing  at  the  time.  It  occasioned  him  no  little  trouble 
to  find  it. 

The  postage  at  that  time  was  from  ten  to  twenty  five  cents  on  each 
letter,  and  money  being  scarce,  tlie  recipient  of  the  letter  would  often  be 
compelled  to  forego  the  pleasure  of  reading  it  for  several  days  until  he  could 
get  the  money  to  pay  the  postage.  Then,  letters  were  carried  without 
being  prepaid,  but  could  remain  but  a  few  weeks  in  the  office,  when  they 
were  forwarded  to  the  Dead-Letter  Office.  As  soon  as  the  town  of  Mon- 
mouth was  established  an  office  was  made  there.  It  now  does  a  lar«j-e  busi- 
ness, ranking  as  a  second-class  office.  Its  report  for  1876  shows  that  there 
were  sold,  352,127  stamps,  stamped  envelopes  and  postal  cards.  For 
these  $7,011.3(3  were  received.  There  were  2,626  money  orders  issued, 
which  amounted  to  §31,055.41  in  value;  1,920  orders  were  paid,  amounting 
to  $33,354.82;  60^  letters  were  registered,  and  756  of  this  kind  were  received; 
999  letters  were  sent  to  the  Dead-Letter  Office.  This  report  shows  that  the 
office  handled  $72,021.59  during  the  year. 

The  first  bank  established  in  the  county  was  by  Ivory  Quinby.  His 
was  a  priv^ate  institution,  and  in  it  he  was  soon  succeeded  by  the  firm  of 
Gregg  &  Hubbard. 

Afterwards  a  bank  was  opened  by  E.  L.  Chapman,  which  in  the  early 
part  of  1862  was  merged  into  the  present  First  National  Bank.  This  latter 
institution  is  one  of  the  oldest  in  the  United  States,  being  the  eighty-fifth 
established.  In  1872  a  private  bank  was  opened  by  C.  Jones  &  Co.,  which 
was  also,  on  November  1,  1870,  merged  into  a  National  bank,  being  the 
present  ^[onmouth  National. 

The  Second  National  Bank  was  established  in  the  early  part  of  1875. 

All  these  banks  are  in  excellent  condition  and  stand  high  in  the  mer- 
cantile world. 

MANUFACTORIES. 

The  first  two-horse  cultivator  for  corn  and  the  first  two-horse  planter 
were  invented  and  made  in  this  county.  These  enable  one  man  to  do  the 
work  of  nearly  six,  and  have  been  a  saving  of  many  millions  of  dollars  liere- 
tofore  paid  for  labor.  These  agricultural  implements  are  now  largely  used 
in  the  Southern  States  in  the  cultivation  of  cotton. 

In  1859,  W,  S.  Weir  began  experimenting  with  a  corn  jjIow,  as  the 
old  methods  of  cultivating  corn  required  so  much  labor,  resulting  in  a  plow 
for  which  a  patent  was  first  issued  in  December,  1862. 

In  1863,  after  thoroughly  trying  the  invention,  ^arrangements  were 
made  for  manufacturing  on  a  larger  scale.     The  first  shop  was  built  in  the 


146  HISTORY    OF   WAKREN    COUNTY. 

northwest  part  of  the  city,  24x36  feet,  joined  by  a  blacksmltli  shop  24x30 
feet.  During  the  year,  with  the  assistance  of  nine  men,  400  plows  were 
made.  In  the  winter  of  1864-5,  500  were  manufactured  and  found  a  ready 
sale. 

The  demand  for  these  cultivators,  at  this  time,  necessitated  a  still  further 
enlargement.  A  location  was  selected  on  Wood  street,  near  the  C,  B.  & 
Q.  Railroad,  where  buildings  were  erected  for  wood  work  and  foundry,  the 
dimensions  of  which  were  100x36  feet.  A  capital  stock  of  $35,000  was  rep- 
resented, and  the  force  of  men  increased  to  twenty-five. 

For  the  season  of  1866,  800  cultivators  were  made.  Arrangements  for 
■  the  completion  of  a  larger  number  were  made,  the  following  season,  and 
the  work  was  carried  on  with  vigor.  On  the  morning  of  January  20, 1867, 
by  some  unexplained  accident,  the  entire  works,  with  contiguons  buildings, 
were  destroyed  by  fire,  entailing  a  loss  of  $35,000,  including  1,200  cultiva- 
tors stored  in  the  building.  Of  this  amount,  $10,000  was  covered  by  in- 
surance. 

By  the  first  of  March,  a  main  building  34x36  feet,  two  stories  high, 
was  ready  for  business,  together  with  a  blacksmith  shop  24x70,  and  a 
foundry  40x70  feet.  Fifty  men  were  employed,  and  1,500  cultivators  were 
in  readiness  for  the  spring  trade. 

In  the  fall  of  1867,  the  Weir  Plow  Company  was  organized  with  a  cap- 
ital of  $50,000. 

Three  thousand  cultivators  were  made  in  1868  ;  4,000  in  1869  ;  6,500 
in  1870.  In  the  fall  of  this  year  the  working  force  was  increased  to  sixty 
men,  and  10,000  cultivators  were  placed  upon  the  market. 

The^  company  has  again  increased  the  number  of  its  employes,  until 
they  now  give  employment  to  over  300. 

In  1871  they  erected  their  present  shops,  whose  combined  floors  cover 
more  than  three  acres.  The  capital  invested  is  over  $600,000,  and  about 
$5,000  worth  of  agricultural  implements  are  made  daily. 

Tlie  Pattee  brotliers,  manufacturers  of  the  "  New  Departure,"  tongue- 
less  cultivator,  obtained  their  patent  in  1872,  and  commenced  to  manufac- 
ture at  Buda.  Bureau  county.  Two  years  after  they  erected  shops  here 
and  commenced  at  once  the  manufacture.  They  have  a  large  foundry,  ma- 
chine and  blacksmith  shops,  and  make  the  cultivator  from  the  crude  mate- 
rial. They  are  daily  in  receipt  of  sufficient  orders  to  exhaust  all  their  man- 
ufactured stock.  During  1876,  4,000  cultivators  were  sold  in  addition  to 
those  sold  from  Buda  and  lioseville.  They  are  also  made  at  this  latter 
place. 

Mr.  W.  S.  Hopper  is  also  engaged  extensively  in  the  manufacture  of 
a  cultivator  which  finds  a  ready  sale,  more  than  3,000  being  now  in  use. 
His  establishment  is  directly  north  of  the  C.,B.  &  Q.depot.  He  purchased 
the  buildings  in  1869,  and  in  company  with  Mr.  Palmer,  began  the  making 
of  his  plows.  His  rrade  has  grown  steadily  and  is  chiefly  in  the  western 
and  southwestern  states. 

Aside  from  the  principal  shops  of  the  city,  Monmouth  contains  one  or 
two  flouring  mills,  a  good  carriage  and  wagon  factory,  and  a  large  number 
of  shops  of  various  kinds. 

The  city  enjoys  a  large  trade  with  the  surrounding  country.  As  fine 
stores  can  be  seen  here  as  in  any  city  west  of  Chicago,  and  many  persons 
come  from  the  farthest  parts  of  the  county  to  trade  here. 

It  has  been  shown  elsewhere  in  these  pages  that  the  greater  part  of 


HISTOKY   OF   WARREN    COUNTY.  147 

the  business  of  the  residents  of  Warren  county  were  eni^aged  in  agriculture 
and  in  stock  raising,  As  an  evidence  of  this  and  the  amount  of  business 
done  at  Monmouth  station,  the  following  is  given  : 

"  During  die  year  endiug  with  December,  the  shipments  on  the  C,  B, 
&  Q.  from  Monmouth,  included  215  cars  of  hogs,  12,160  head  ;  eight  cars 
of  sheep,  682  head;  208  cars  of  cattle,  3,366  head;  lOa  cars  of  corn,  -12,000 
bushels  ;  33  cars  of  oats,  16,300  bushels  ;  18  cars  of  rye,  7,200  bushels  ;  3 
cars  of  barley,  1,200  bushels." 

THE    SCHOOLS. 

The  educational  advantages  of  Monmouth  have  always  maintained  a 
liigli  standard.  In  1831  a  private  school  was  opened  by  Robert  Black.  He 
was  shortly  followed  by  Alpheus  Russell,  both  linding  their  support  in  sub- 
scriptions. No  public  provision  was  made  until  1834,  when  at  the  meeting 
of  the  County  Commissioners,  on  May  6th,  the  petition  of  Jacob  Rust  and 
others  to  establish  the  boundaries  of  school  district  No.  1  was  granted. 
This  included  Monmouth,  and  on  the  site  of  the  present  Methodist  Episco- 
pal Church  a  frame  school  house,  about  eighteen  feet  square,  was  erected. 
This  was  a  very  comfortable  structure,  and  was  often  used  for  other  pur- 
poses, such  as  town  meetings,  religious  services,  or  any  public  gathering. 
It  was  here,  on  the  29th  of  November,  1836,  the  election  for  the  town  or- 
ganization was  held.  On  October  2d,  1834  the  trustees  of  the  Monmouth 
district  made  their  tirst  report  to  the  County  Commissioners.  It  reads  as 
follows  : 

"There  are  in  this  district  fifty  children  between  the  ages  of  five  and 
twenty-one  years.  There  has  been  a  school  kept  three  months  since  the 
organization  of  the  district.  There  have  twenty-five  children  received  tui- 
tion.    The  probable  expense  will  be  $45." 

This  report  is  signed  by  Gilbert  Turnbull  and  James  McCallon,  and 
appears  to  record  the  tirst  public  school  in  Monmouth. 

This  small  building  was  occupied  several  years.  About  the  year  1840 
it  was  sold  and  converted  into  a  dwelling.  On  its  site  a  much  larger  struc- 
ture was  erected  to  accommodate  the  increasing  school  ])opulation.  Ere 
long  it  was  found  to  be  insufficient,  and  several  private  schools  were  opened. 
The  basement  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  and  the  Christian  Church  were 
rented  and  occupied.  This  occurred  about  the  year  1852  or  '3.  The  schools 
were  under  the  control  of  the  town  and  city  councils,  but  no  active  j)art 
seems  to  have  been  taken  by  either  board  until  the  year  1855,  when  at  a 
meeting  of  the  city  council,  in  June,  it  was  ordered  that  the  sum  of  $2,500 
be  appropriated  to  erect  the  East  Ward  school  house.  This  same  autumn 
school  was  opened  in  the  school  house  already  in  use,  in  the  Christian 
Church,  and  in  the  basement  of  the  Presbyterian  Church.  The  council  em- 
ployed Mr.  W.  B.  Jenks  to  occupy  the  school  house,  who  was  to  receive  as 
compensation  for  his  services  three  dollars  per  scholar  in  all  common 
branches,  and  four  dollars  from  each  of  those  who  ]Hirsued  the  higher 
studies.  They  employed  Mr.  A,  II.  Tracy  for  the  Christian  Church  at  the 
same  terms. 

The  East  AVard  house  was  completed  and  occupied  during  the  years 
1855-G,  and  gav^e  ample  room  until  1858-9,  when  the  school  population  had 
so  increased  that  the  West  Ward  school  house  was  erected  to  accommodate 
them.     It  was  found  that  the  city  council  could  not  give  the  necessary  at- 


148 


HISTORY    OF   WAEKEN   COUNTT. 


tention  to  the  schools  they  demanded,  and  the  city  charter  was  amended 
February  21,  1863,  placing  the  care  of  the  schools  under  a  board  of  three 
directors.  These  were  elected  March  3d.  They  were  John  S.  Spriggs,  A. 
Young  Graham  and  Nathaniel  A.  Rankin.  For  the  years  1863-1  S.  A. 
Hammer  was  by  them  elected  principal,  and  also  eleven  teachers,  six  in  the 
East  Ward  and  live  in  the  West.  For  the  next  year  two  principals  were 
chosen,  and  the  school  term  extended  to  six  months.  The  same  year  the 
contract  for  the  South  school  house  was  let.  In  1867  the  North  Ward  house 
was  built,  and  the  school  year  made  nine  months.  The  following  year  the 
South  school  house  was  enlarged.  In  1869  the  board  of  directors  was  in- 
creased to  five,  and  each  principal  of  a  ward  was  made  superintendent  of 
that  building,  and  under  this  plan  the  city  schools  are  still  conducted.  The 
secretary  of  the  board  acts  as  city  superintendent,  though  he  takes  no  part 
in  the  instruction.  The  schools  are  in  an  excehent  condition,  and  give  em- 
ployment to  twenty-two  teachers,  whose  aggreggate  monthly  salaries  are 
over  $1,200. 


CHURCHES. 


The  First  United  Presbyterian  Church.  This  congregation  was  or- 
ganized by  Eev.  Robert  Ross,  May  9,  18.'S3,  more  than  twenty-three  years 
ago,  as  an  Associate  Reformed  church. 

Nineteen  persons  united,  whose  names  were  as  follows  :  John,  Ann, 
Isabella  and  James  S.  Gowdy,  Isabella  Young,  James  G.  and  Martha  E. 
Madden,  T.  AV.  Smiley,  John  and  Mary  J.  Saville,  John  E.  Clark,  Mrs. 
Clark,  Robert  A.  Kendall,  James  E.  McNair,  Edward  Kirk,  Isabella  Wal- 
lace, Julia  A.,  Maria  S.  and  Susan  Madden.  The  tirst  communion  service 
was  held  June  1  Lth,  following,  when  thirty-four  persons  sat  down  to  the 
communion  table,  ten  of  whom  now  remain  in  the  congregation.  This 
church  has  received  into  her  fellowship  over  fourteen  hundred  persons,  and 
now  has  a  membership  of  four  hundred. 

The  congregation  worshipped  in  the  court-house  from  the  organization 
until  the  close  of  1856,  when  the  old  college  chapel  was  finished  and  services 
were  conducted  there.  The  chapel  becoming  too  small  for  the  increasing 
congregation,  it  was  decided  to  erect  a  church  edifice.  During  the  last  week 
of  June,  1857,  $6,000  were  subscribed  for  that  purpose,  and  building  at 
once  commenced.  This  structure  (the  present  building)  was  completed  in 
the  early  part  of  the  summer  of  1818,  and  the  first  services  held  therein  on 
July  lth  of  that  year. 

From  an  anniversary  sermon  preached  in  May,  1876,  by  the  pastor. 
Rev.  J.  G.  Barnes,  the  following  extracts  relating  to  history  of  this  denom- 
ination in  Monmouth  are  taken  :  "The  first  As'sociate  Reformed  minister 
who  preached  in  Monmouth  was  Rev.  J.  C.  Porter,  in  the  winter  of  1817-'18. 
After  the  death  of  Rev.  Willson,  pastor  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  he 
preached  for  them  at  the  request  of  the  session,  until  they  could  obtain 
supplies  of  their  own.  He  and  other  supplies  preached  in  the  court-house, 
generally  to  small  audiences,  until  November,  1851,  when  a  call  was  ex- 
tended to  Rev.  S.  F.  Vaunate,  who  afterwards  lost  his  life  by  a  shell  on 
board  a  vessel  on  the  Mississippi  river,  during  the  late  war.  An  acadeniy 
having  been  established  here  by  the  Second  Associate  Presbytery  of  Illinois, 
it  was  thought  best  to  find  some  one  to  take  charge  of  both  church  and 
school.  Dr.  David  A.  Wallace,  of  East  Boston,  Mass.,  was  called,  who 
came,  and  on  the  second  Sabbath  of  February,  1856,  preached  twice  in  the 


HISTORY    OF    WARREN    COUNIT.  149 

Baptist  and  once  in  the  Presbyterian  church.  On  the  first  Sabbath  of  Oc- 
tober, 1856,  he  entered  upon  his  duties,  and  reinaiued  in  charge  of  both 
church  and  school  till  August,  1860,  when  he  resigned  his  care  of  the  former 
to  give  his  entire  attention  to  the  latter.  In  the  tall  of  185S,  the  Theolog- 
ical Seminary  of  this  denomination  was  removed  from  Oxford,  Ohio,  to 
Monmouth,  and  Dr.  Young  acted  as  pastor  of  the  congregation  until  De- 
cember 31,  1862.  In  1863,  in  April,  a  call  was  sent  to  Rev.  David  G, 
Bradford,  now  pastor  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  at  Princeton,  Bureau 
county,  which  he  accepted  and  remained  in  this  relation  until  August,  1867. 
Rev.  R.  B.  Ewing  was  the  next  pastor,  coming  in  the  spring  of  1868,  and 
remaining  until  tHinuarv  1,  1870.  In  May,  of  that  year,  the  present  pastor, 
Rev.  Barnes,  was  called." 

The  first  officers  of  this  church  were  James  Gowdy  and  T.  W.  Smiley, 
elders,  (still  living),  James  C.  Crawford,  John  P.  Giles  and  Robert  B.  Da- 
vidson. The  first  Sabbath-school  superintendent  was  Nathan  Brown,  Sr. 
There  were  five  teachers  and  twenty-five  scholars.  There  are  now  nearly 
two  hundred  scholars. 

On  November  20,  1862,  twenty-one  members  withdrew  to  form  the 
Second  United  Presbyterian  Church  of  Monmouth.  The  third  church  and 
the  one  at  Kirkwood  were  also  formerly  part  of  this  church. 

The  Second  United  Presbyterian  Church  was  organized  at  the  house  of 
Mr.  A.  Y.  Graham,  in  Monmouth,  October  25,  1862.  The  members  were, 
prior  to  this  time,  communicants  in  the  First  United  Presbyterian  Church; 
but  that  becoming  large  and  the  membership  somewhat  scattered,  it  was 
desirous  to  form  another  congregation.  The  constituent meinbers  were:  M. 
A.  Campbell,  Catharine  Graham,  Mary  C.  Wolf,  Esther  J.  Campbell,  W.  C. 
Brown,  A.  Y.  Graham,  M.  D.  Campbell,  J.  D.  Wolf,  James  Findley,  Lizzie 
Campbell,  Prof  J.  C.  Willson,  Prof  J.  C.  Hutchinson,  R.  M.  Campbell, 
Lizzie  W.  AVillson,  Lizzie  Hutchinson,  J.  F.  McCreary,  James  Strain,  Eliz- 
abeth McCreary,  and  Nancy  Strain — 19.  Until  the  year  1866,  they  wor- 
shipped in  the  college  chapel,  when  by  this  time  they  had  so  increased  in 
numbers  that  a  church  edifice  was  deemed  necessary.  This  was  erected  a 
little  south  of  the  college  buildings,  and  cost  the  congregation  about  $10,000. 
When  the  church  was  oro^anized  the  Revs.  A.  Young:  and  Dr.  D.  A.  Wal- 
lace  were  called  as  associate  pastors,  also  being  connected  with  the  college. 
December  31,  1868,  Dr.  AYallace  resigned  to  devote  his  entire  time  to  the 
latter  institution,  and  Dr.  Young  assumed  the  entire  duties  of  pastor,  con- 
tinuing until  June  11,  1871.  On  August  11,  1872,  Rev.  D.  M.  Ure  was 
called.  He  continued  to  fill  the  pulpit  till  August  4,  1874,  when  he  re- 
signed. The  present  pastor.  Rev.  W.  T.  Campbell,  was  installed  February 
25,  1875. 

From  a  membership  of  nineteen,  the  church  has  grown  to  three  liun- 
dred  and  seventy-five,  and  sustain  a  Sabbath-school  of  nearly  or  cpiite  two 
hundred  scholars. 

The  Third  U.  P.  Church  was  organized  in  January,  1867,  in  the  South 
Ward  school  house,  with  forty  members.  A  convenient  house  of  worship 
was  built  soon  after,  and  Rev.  J.  M.  Henderson  was  the  first  pastor,  from 
1868  to  1873.  Rev.  D.  R.  Inches  then  succeeded  to  the  pastorate,  and  con- 
tinued until  the  fall  of  1876.  Present  number  of  members  about  forty. 
In  Sabbath  school  seventy.     No  pastor  at  present. 

Swedish  Lutheran  Church.  Was  organized  in  March,  1868,  with 
twenty-five  members.     The  meetings  lor  divine   worship  were  held  in  a 


150  HISTORY   OF   WABREN    COUifTY. 

building  owned  by  Mr.  John  Beck,  one  of  the  principal  constituent  mem- 
bers. The  presiding  minister  was  Rev.  —  Dalstien,  of  Galesburg,  who 
labored  here  as  his  time  and  circumstances  would  allow,  for  some  time. 
Thev  met  in  this  room  and  in  the  court-house  until  the  vear  1870,  when 
they  erected  their  present  house  of  worship,  costing  about  $1,400.  They 
now  number  one  hundred  and  twenty-five  members,  and  control  a  Sunday- 
school  of  fifty  scholars.     The  pastor  is  liev.  E.  Peterson. 

The  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  was  organized  over  Daniel  MclS^eil's 
store  in  1840.  The  trustees  elected  at  the  organization  were :  L.  C  Wood- 
worth,  Charh;s  Cummings,  Asa  D.  West,  Alford  Allen  and  Daniel  McNeil. 
Two  years  before  this  time  the  persons  professing  this  belief  had  met  for 
divine  worship  in  the  same  place,  and  as  a  result  had  gathered  enough  ad- 
herents to  form  the  society.  Kev.  K.  G.  Bergman  was  presiding  elder  at 
the  organization,  and  occasionally  preached  for  them  afterwards.  In  1840, 
they  erected  a  house  of  worship.  This  was  used  until  about  the  year  1857. 
It  was  always  known  as  the  "Monmouth  Chapel,''  being  used  for  many 
public  meetings  of  various  kinds.  About  this  time,  becoming  too  small 
for  the  increasing  congregation,  it  was  removed  and  the  present  commodi- 
ous edifice  erected  upon  its  site.  The  following  is  a  partial  list  of  the  min- 
isters of  this  church :  Revs.  C.  Rowley,  A.  C.  Price,  J.  P.  Brooks,  C. 
Springer,  J.  S.  Cummings,  E.  Wasmuth,  A.  Magee,  P,  Warner,  J.  G.  Evans, 
Wm.  Underwood,  L.  Janes,  and  the  present  pastor,  J.  D.  Smith,  The 
membership  is  now  275,  and  the  attendance  at  Sunday-school  200. 

The  Baptist  Church.  This  congi'egation  occupy  a  very  comfortable 
house  of  worship,  heated  by  furnaces  and  supplied  with  stained  glass  win- 
dows. Several  other  churches  in  Monmouth  have  introduced  these  im- 
prov^ements,  which  aid  much  in  the  convenience  and  appearance  of  the 
buildings. 

This  congregation  was  organized  in  1844  at  the  house  of  Benj.C.  Ward, 
with  the  following  constituent  members  :  Wm.  F.  Smith,  Mrs.  Geo.  C. 
Lamphere,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  Howard,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Benj.  C.  Ward,  and 
Mrs.  Fry. 

Their  earliest  meetings  were  held  in  the  present  court  house,  under 
the  ministry  of  Elder  Bartlett,  of  Knoxville.  For  some  time  the  services 
were  held  in  private  houses,  principally  in  a  room  over  the  store  of  Deacon 
E.  C.  Babcock  and  in  a  room  belono^ino-  to  Wm.  F.  Smith,  on  the  southeast 
corner  of  the  Square.  In  1848  the  first  house  of  M^orship  was  built  upon 
the  present  site,  under  the  supervision  of  Elder  Joseph  Elliott  and  John 
Babcock,  at  a  cost  of  $3,300.  In  186S  it  was  remodeled  and  improved,  at 
an  expense  of  $3,000,  making  the  aggregate  cost  of  the  present  striictnre 
$6,300.  The  present  membership  of  the  society  is  175.  The  church  main- 
tains a  Sabbath  school  of  150  members  and  a  Sunday  school  library  of  250 
volumes.  The  following  are  the  names  of  the  various  pastors  who  have 
served  this  church,  in  the  order  of  their  pastorates  :  Eld.  Bartlett,  Eld.  Wil. 
bur.  Eld.  Hovey,  Eld.  Monroe,  Eld  Levisee,  Eld.  Westorn,  Eld.  Joseph  El- 
liott, Eld.  Brimhall,  Eld.  Erastus  Minor,  Eld.  Newton,  Eld.  Anson  Tucker, 
Eld.  Northrop,  Eld.  Tolman,  Eld  J.  C.  Miller,  Eld.  Wm.  Bolton,  Eld.  H. 
B.  Foskett,  and  then  the  present  incumbent  Eld.  Harry  Taylor. 

The  First  Presbyterian  church  of  Warren  county  was  organized  in 
1836,  by  Rev.  Cyrus  Riggs,  and  reported  to  the  presbytery  of  Scliuyler,  in 
session  at  Macomb,  in  that  year.  This  was  the  church  that  afterwards  took 
the  name  of  "Fall  Creek,"  and  was  dissolved  by  the  presbytery  and  with  their 


HISTORY    OF    WAKREN    COUNTY.  151 

own  consent,  Angiist  26,  1S73.     Its  membersliip  had  run  down  to  seven  or 
ei<^ht.  and  it  was  impossible  to  revive  it. 

The  Presbyterian  church  of  Monmouth  was  organized  by  Eev.  L.  G. 
Bell,  September  I2d,  1837.  At  its  organization  there  were  sixteen  mem- 
bers, all  of  whom  being  members  of  the  First  Church  of  Warren  county, 
were  dismissed  to  enter  the  new  church.  The  new  church  had  only  occa- 
sional sup])lies  of  preaching  until  September,  1839,  when  its  first  pastor 
was  settled.  In  the  meantime  services  were  held  by  Ilevs.  L.  G.  Bell,  ^[ich- 
ael  Ilamer,  James  StaflPord,  Joseph  J.  Craig  and  W.  K.  Stewart,  all  of  \vhom 
are  dead  except  Mr.  Hammer  and  Mr.  Craig.  Rev.  Bell  moved  to  Iowa, 
and  in  that  new  territory  spent  his  time  in  organizing  and  fostering  new 
churches,  until  his  death,  some  years  ago.  His  remains  were  brought  to 
Monmouth  for  interment.  liev.  Stewart,  another  pioneer  of  the  church, 
died  in  Macomb,  where  he  had  been  pastor  for  many  ^^ears. 

In  October,  1839,  Rev.  Samuel  Wilson,  then  laboring  at  Rushville,  was 
called  to  become  pastor  of  the  united  churches  of  Monmouth  and  Fall 
Creek,  and  he  was  installed  by  the  presbytery  then  in  session  in  this  place. 
This  relation  continued  till  August  15,  1847,  when  it  was  closed  by  his 
death.     At  that  time  the  church  numbered  sixty-seven  members. 

Until  lsl:2  or  18-13  the  church  had  no  house,  but  worshipped  in  various 
places  ;  sometimes  in  a  store-room  on  the  corner  of  Broadway  and  the 
Square,  now  occupied  by  the  Monmouth  jSTational  Bank  building  ;  some- 
times in  a  room  in  the  old  American  House,  that  stood  where  Claycomb's 
brick  block  now  stands.  J.  F.  Ilogue,  one  of  the  elders  of  the  church,  was 
proprietor  of  the  hotel.  Sometimes  the  meetings  M'ere  held  in  the  court 
house,  and  it  was  at  one  of  the  meetings  in  the  court  house  that  Rev.  Wil- 
son was  installed  pastor. 

On  the  17th  of  April,  1842,  Theodore  Coburn  and  his  wife  deeded  to 
the  church  the  lot  on  which  the  present  building  stands.  On  the  lot  a 
small  brick  building  was  erected  soon  after  the  deed  was  given,  and,  becom- 
ing insecure,  was  taken  down  in  1851. 

In  1852  the  present  church  building  was  erected,  and  some  years  ago 
was  enlarged  to  accommodate  the  growing  congregation. 

In  the  fall  of  1851  Rev.  R.  C.  Matthews,  basing  left  the  theological 
seminary,  prepared  to  preach,  visited  Burlington,  Iowa,  where  he  chanced 
to  become  acquainted  with  a  member  of  the  church  in  Monmouth,  and  was 
invited  to  come  over  the  river  and  preach,  the  church  having  no  minister 
at  that  time.  He  came,  and  on  the  20th  of  December,  of  that  year,  he 
preached  his  first  sermon  in  the  court  house.  The  old  brick  church  had  been 
taken  down  and  the  new  one  was  not  finished,  which  was  the  reason  for  the 
meeting  being  held  in  the  court  house  of  Monmouih.  The  next  day  a  congre- 
gational meeting  was  held,  and  the  Doctor  was  invited  to  stay  ^nd  preach 
three  months,  which  he  accepted,  and  divided  his  time  between  Monmouth, 
Fall  Creek  and  Xorth  Henderson.  On  the  20th  of  March,  1852,  he  was 
called  to  become  pastor  of  the  church,  by  the  acting  elders,  Robert  Grant, 
James  Dickson,  Porter  Phelps,  A.  C.  Gregg  and  Hiram  Xorcross.  In 
December,  1852,  he  was  regularly  installed  pastor,  and  continued  as  such, 
respected  and  beloved  by  his  congregation  and  the  entire  community. 

During  his  ministry  he  has  welcomed  into  the  church  seven  hundred 
and  eighteen  members. 

The  Sunday  school.  In  the  fall  of  1838  the  pastor  organized  the  Sunday 
school  and  remained  superintendent  until  1840,  when  he  was  succeeded  by 


152  HISTORY    OF   WARREN   COUNTY. 

Hev.  Sarn'l.  Wilson,  who  occii])ied  both  positions  until  about  1846.  Tlie  num- 
ber of  scholars  was  from  litteen  to  twenty,  requiring  the  services  of  four  or 
five  teachers.  One  of  these  latter,  Mr,  John  Leeper  .remained  as  teacher 
about  twenty-five  years. 

In  the  autumn  of  1861  the  board  of  instruction  organized  under  the  con- 
stitution of  the  First  Presbyterian  church,  and  elected  their  officers.  Tnat 
year  95  scholars  attended  one  day  during  the  last  quarter  of  the  year,  being 
the  greatest  number  of  any  one  day.  Twenty  teachers  were  present.  Dur- 
ing 1862-3  and  '-4,— especially  during  1863, — the  school  and  church  en- 
joyed a  great  season  ot  revival  and  largely  increased  ;  214  scholars  and  29 
"teachers  are  reported.  On  August  2d  ttie  school  assembled  for  the  first 
time  in  the  basement  of  the  church.  For  the  year  ending  January  21st, 
1866,  375  were  reported  enrolled.  The  lessons  were  prepared  by  Dr.  Mat- 
thews. 

This  school  has  steadily  maintained  a  good  growth.  It  has  largely  con- 
tributed of  its  members  to  the  church,  225  of  the  scholars  uniting  therewith 
since  1852.  It  has  helped  sustain  a  mission  school,  given  freely  to  other 
causes,  and  now  is  large  and  very  prosperous.  Four  of  its  members  have 
gone  out  as  ministers,  two  as  elders,  six  as  superintendents  and  forty  as 
teachers  in  the  Sunday  schools. 

The  Christian  Church.  The  earliest  meetings  of  this  congregation 
were  held  in  the  school  house  and  in  various  halls  in  the  (then)  village. 

On  March  31st.  1839,  they  were  organized  into  a  church  by  Elders 
Pliny  Uatchett,  Levi  Hatchett  and  James  R.  Koss,  Elijah  Davidson  was 
chosen  clerk  of  this  meeting  and  the  following  persons  united :  Elijah  and 
Nancy  Davidson,  Hezekiah  and  Eleanor  Davidson,  Alex,  and  Rachel 
Davidson,  Wm.  C.  and  Mrs.  M.  Hall,  Wm.  C.  Butler  and  his  wife  Rebecca, 
James  Hodgson,  Jacob  L.  and  Xancy  Bnzan,  Amelia  Ann  Davidson,  Solo- 
mon S.  Davidson,  Wm.  B.  Davidson,  Elizabeth  Davidson  and  Thos.  H. 
Davidson,  eighteen  in  all,  of  whom  none  are  now  members  ;  nearly  all  have 
died  or  reram^cd.  In  1840  they  built  their  first  house  of  worship,  which 
occupied  a  lot  immediately  north  of  the  present  Baldwin  House.  This 
church  was  taken  away  after  doing  good  service  as  a  house  of  worship  and 
as  school  house,  and,  in  the  spring  of  1861,  the  present  building  erected. 
It  is  a  very  comfortable  structure  and  cost  $5,000.  The  number  of  mem- 
bers is  now  125,  and  the  Sunday  school  approaching  the  same  number. 

Resident  ministers  engaged  in  Christian  Church  since  the  organization 
in  1839  :  Alexander  Davidson,  James  E.  Gaston,  T.  J.  Mattock,  J.  W. 
Butler,  L.  S.  Wallace,  John  Errett,  A.  P.  Aten,  F.  M.  Bruner,  T.  V.  Berry, 
John  Lagrange,  J.  M.  Williams,  Alex.  Davidson,  A.  J.  Cane,  J.  W.  Errett, 
S.  S.  AVallace  and  J.  W.  Butler  are  some  of  the  pastors  who  have  labored 
here.     The  present  occupant  of  the  pulpit  is  Rev.  F.  M.  Bruner. 

African  M,  E.  Church.  Was  organized  in  a  hall  on  Main  street  about 
ten  years  ago.  There  were  twelve  members,  of  whom  Charles  Knight, 
Frances  Price,  Zachariah  Price,  Harriet  Lee  and  A.  II.  Knight,  who  acted  as 
class  leaders,  M^ere  the  principal  ones.  In  1870  they  erected  a  church  cost- 
ing about  $800,  which  tliey  yet  occupy.  There  are  now  twenty-two  mem- 
bers and  an  attendance  of  fifteen  scholars  at  the  Sunday  school. 

xYfrican  Baptist  Church.  Was  organized  at  the  residence  of  Mrs.  JSIil- 
ler,  September  10th,  1866.  There  were  but  few  members,  the  principal 
ones  being  Henry  McCord  and  wife,  and  B.  Granger  and  wife. 

A  church  was  erected  at  the  corner  of  East  and  Cherry  streets,  at  an 


HISTORY   OF   WAKREN    COUNTY.  153 

e>rpense  of  ^1,500.  It  is  still  used.  Their  first  pastor  was  Rev.  J.  C. 
Graves.  Since  then  they  have  been  ministered  to  by  Rev.  J.  H.  Bandy 
and  others. 

They  have  at  present  thirty-one  members  and  a  Sunday  school  of  forty 
scholars, 

THE    PRESS. 

The  Monmouth  Atlas  is  the  oldest  newspaper  published  in  this  section 
of  tlie  country.  It  was  started  in  the  year  1845  by  C.  K.  Smith.  E.  S.  Byron 
and  F.  K.  Smith  were  for  a  short  time  associated  witli  liiin  m  its  manage- 
ment, but  through  his  labor  and  perseverance  the  paper  became  a  valuable 
contributor  to  the  development  of  the  country  and  its  steady  and  prosper- 
ous growth.  The  present  senior  proprietor,  Jno.  S.  Clark,  purchased  the 
establishment  of  Mr.  Smith  in  1857.  In  the  fall  of  1865  he  sold  an  inter 
est  to  J.  H.  Reed,  who  assisted  in  its  management  until  May,  1869,  when 
Mr.  R.  was  succeeded  by  Samuel  S.  Clark,  and  with  an  unimportant  excep- 
tion, the  business  has  since  been  conducted  by  Jno.  S.  Clark  &  Son.  In 
their  hands  the  establishment  has  increased  to  several  times  its  dimensions 
when  ])urchased  bv  Mr.  Clark,  more  than  twenty  vears  a^o,  and  the  circu- 
lation  of  the  paper  has  kept  pace  with  the  increase  of  population.  Mr. 
Geo.  Rankin  is  now  connected  with  the  paper.  The  Atlas  is  recognized  as 
one  of  the  leading  and  most  prosperous  Republican  newspapers  of  the 
State. 

The  Revieio  was  established  in  1855  by  the  present  editor  and  propri- 
etor, Mr.  A.  H.  Swain,  who  has  been  a  practical  printer  since  1815,  learning 
his  trade  in  Pennsj'lvania.  He  commenced  the  publication  of  the  Revieio, 
bringing  his  material  with  him,  in  an  old  brick  building  on  Main  street, 
where  he  remained  one  year.  At  the  expiration  of  that  time  he  removed 
his  presses  to  Patterson's  block  on  East  street,  where  he  published  the  paper 
four  years.  lie  then  returned  to  Main  street  to  a  room  in  Carr's  block, 
where  he  published  the  paper  until  1876,  when  he  removed  the  office  to  its 
present  location  in  Kingsbury's  block  on  Broadway.  Mr.  Svvain  publishes 
the  official  Democratic  paj)er  of  the  county,  and  since  its  commencement  has 
never  missed  a  number. 

THE   MONMOUTH    COLLEGE, 

Originated  with  the  members  of  the  Second  Associate  Reformed  Pres- 
bytery of  Illinois,  in  a  desire  to  provide  means  for  affi^rding  a  Christian 
education  to  the  youth  of  the  church  in  the  West,  and  to  raise  up  properly 
qualified  candidates  for  the  ministry.  Hence  this  Presbytery  organized  an 
academy  at  Monmouth.  In  1855,  it  determined  to  raise  it  to  the  rank  of  a 
college,  and  appointed  a  board  of  trustees,  who  elected  a  president  and  two 
professors,  and  arranged  for  the  opening  of  the  college  in  September,  1856. 
In  this  movement  Rev.  J.  C.  Porter  and  Rev.  R.  Ross  were  among  the 
most  active.  At  the  date  fixed  for  opening,  the  building  then  in  process  of 
erection  not  being  ready,  the  college  was  opened  in  the  public  school  house, 
which  is  now  occupied  as  a  residence  by  Mr.  Cowen,  and  stands  on  West 
avenue,  east  side,  the  third  house  from  Broadway. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Associate  Reformed  Synod  of  Illinois,  held  in 
Keokuk,  Iowa,  October,  1856,  the  college  was  transferred  to  that  Synod  by 
the  Presbytery.     The  Synod,  in  a  series  of  resolutions,  affirmed  the  princi- 


154  HISTORY   OF    WABREN   COUNTY. 

pies  according  to  wliicli  it  intended  the  college  to  be  conducted,  and  ap 
pointed  trnstees.  x\fter  the  consummation  of  the  union  constituting  the 
United  Presbyterian  Church,  the  care  and  supervision  of  the  college  passed 
to  the  Synod  of  Illinois  of  that  body.  In  1868,  the  Synod  of  Iowa  united 
with  the  Synod  of  Illinois  in  the  maintenance  and  control  of  the  college. 
"When  the  Synod  of  Kansas  was  organized  out  of  the  Synod  of  Illinois,  it 
continued  to  share  with  the  Synod  of  Illinois  its  res])onsibilities  to  the  col- 
lege. In  1874  a  plan  of  union  was  agreed  ujion  by  the  synods  above  named 
with  the  Second  Synod  of  the  West,  in  accordance  with  which  it  also  became 
a  part  of  the  constituency  of  the  college.  The  synods  now  comprised  in 
this  union  are  the  Second  Synod  of  the  West,  and  the  Synods  ot  Illinois, 
Iowa  and  Kansas.  These  synods  contain  244  ministers,  317  churches,  and 
over  20,000  communicants. 

The  original  act  of  incorporation  was  approved  Feb.  16,  1857.  It  cre- 
ated the  board  of  trustees,  a  body  corporate  and  politic  by  the  name  and 
style  of  "The  Monmouth  College,"  and  gave  them  customary  powers.  It 
vested  in  the  Associate  Reformed  Synod  of  Illinois  the  power  of  appointing 
three-fourths  of  the  trustees,  and  in  the  trustees  themselves  one-fourth.  An 
act  was  signed  Feb.  18,  1859,  so  amending  the  original  act  as  to  give  to  the 
"  United  "  Presbyterian  Synod  of  Illinois  the  poM^ers  before  vested  in  the 
Associate  Reformed  Synod.  The  charter  was  furtlier  amended  in  1869, 
after  the  union  of  the  Synod  of  Iowa  with  the  Synod  of  Illinois  in  the  man- 
agement of  the  college.  The  charter,  as  amended,  adjusted  the  government 
of  the  college  to  its  new  relations,  and  provided  for  the  admission  of  other 
bodies  to  its  constituency. 

The  first  college  building  was  erected  on  the  block  of  land  donated  by 
Hon.  A.  C.  Harding,  located  in  the  northwest  section  of  the  city  of  Mon- 
mouth. It  was  about  40x60  feet,  two  stories,  and  contained  a  chapel  and 
eight  rooms.  In  1860,  Messrs.  A.  Y.  and  D.  Graham  donated  to  the  col- 
lege ten  acres  situated  on  Broadway,  in  the  eastern  part  of  the  city,  together 
with  one-sixth  of  the  remainder  of  the  quarter  of  which  it  was  a  part.  The 
board  immediately  took  measures  to  erect  on  the  proffered  site  anew  build- 
ing suited  to  ihe  growing  wants  of  the  college.  The  work  commenced  in 
1861,  and  on  the  12th  day  of  May,  1863,  the  professors  and  students  took 
possession  of  the  building.  It  is  50x80  feet,  three  stories  high  above  the 
basement,  and  contains  eighteen  rooms.  It  cost,  including  furniture  and 
fences,  about  $20,000.  In  1875  it  was  found  that  this  building  was  too 
small  for  the  wants  of  the  college,  and  steps  were  taken  for  the  erection 
of  an  addition,  50x60,  on  the  north  side  of  the  old  building,  at  a  cost  of 
about  $14,000.  It  is  now  finished.  It  is  three  stories  high  above  the  base- 
ment, of  the  same  style  of  architectui-e  as  the  old,  and  will  contain  a  chapel 
and  eight  other  rooms  in  addition  to  those  in  the  basement.  The  enlarged 
structure  will  iurnish  ample  accommodations  for  the  wants  of  the  college. 

The  preparatory  classes  below  the  sub-Freshman  are  heard  in  the 
original  college  building  known  as  the  academy. 

The  first  attemjit  to  endow  the  college  was  made  on  the  Scholarship 
system.  The  original  scholarship  entitled  the  purchaser  to  the  perpetual 
tuition  of  one  student.  It  cost  $100.  The  purchaser  could  pay  cash  for  it 
or  give  his  note  bearing  6  per  cent,  interest  per  annum.  Afterwards  the 
sale  of  this  class  of  scliolarships  was  stop])ed,  and  a  new  one  oHered,  enti- 
tling to  20  years  tuition,  for  $100  in  cash,  or  for  a  note  bearing  intcrst  at  the 
rate  of  ten  per  cent,  per  annum.     Subsequently  it  was  determined  to  sell

no  more  scholarships  at  this  rate.  In  lieu  thereof,  for  every  one  hundred 
dollars,  scrip  was  issued  entitling  to  tuition,  at  current  rates,  to  the  amount 
of  $200,  payable  one-tenth  annually.  Again  this  pl«n  was  modified  by 
giving  scrip  for  the  sum  donated,  dollar  for  dollar,  entitling  to  tuition  to 
the  amount  of  the  face  of  it,  at  the  rates  current  at  the  time  of  the  sale. 
Many  thousands  of  dollars  were  thus  secured.  Finally,  however,  all  these 
schemes  were  abandoned,  because  the  education  promised  by  the  college 
cost  it  more  than  the  principal  and  interest  of  the  money  paid  for  the 
scholarship  amounted  to.  Endowment  on  this  principle  was  found  to  be 
impossible!  In  1871,  it  was  determined  to  solicit  donations,  without  any 
tuition  in  turn,  for  the  Endowment  fund.  On  this  ])]an  over  $75,000  have 
been  secured,  which  is  being  collected  and  invested  in  bonds  secured  by 
mortgage  or  real  estate,  and  bearing  interest  at  the  rate  of  ten  per  cent, 
per  annum.  A  few  thousand  dollars  have  also  been  secured  by  the  sale  of 
a  perpetual  scholarship  for  $1,000. 

The  first  President  of  the  College  was  Kev.  David  A. Wallace,  who  still 
holds  the  place.  The  following  have  been  connected  with  it  as  Professors

HISTORY   OF   WAEREN    COUNTT.  161 

EOSEYILLE. 

Truman  Eldridge,  who  now'  occupies  one  of  the  most  inviting  farms 
and  liomes  witliin  the  Corporation,  came,  in  1836,  from  Hancock,  Mass.,  and 
took  240  acres,  a  part  of  which  is  embraced  in  the  northwest  portion  of 
the  village.  Shortly  after  he  returned  to  his  home  and  spent  two  years,  and 
in  1838  returned,  and  in  1839  built  a  home  and  commenced  the  improve- 
ment of  his  land.  In  1818  he  took  up,  at  the  government  price,  80  acres 
more,  directly  north,  and  in  1850  bought  160  acres  more,  embracing  the 
nort]iea5.t  portion  of  the  Corporation.  The  southeast  quarter  section  was 
bought  thirty-four  years  ago  by  Solomon  Sovereign,  and  thirty  years  ago 
the  southwest  by  John  Reeves.  The  Corporation,  one  mile  square,  laid  out 
in  streets  at  right  angles,  embraces  equal  portions  of  these  four  quarter 
sections. 

The  first  store  was  opened  on  a  small  scale  by  John  Adams,  in  1856,  a 
little  south  of  where  it  now  stands,  on  the  southwest  corner  of  Penn  ave- 
nue and  Main  street.  The  brick  building  owned  by  E.  Pierce  occupies  its 
original  site.  Soon  N.  W.  Baker  succeeded  John  Adams,  and  not  long  after, 
Dally  and  Arter,  and  these  were  succeeded  by  E.  P.  Emans,  who  now  owns 
and  occupies  a  two  story  frame  on  the  northwest  corner. 

The  tirst  township  meeting  was  held  in  the  old  Union  Church,  on 
April  1,  1851.  Truman  Eld  ridge  presided  at  the  meeting,  and  at  its  close 
the  first  township  officers  we'.e  chosen. 

Until  the  advent  of  the  C.  B.  &  Q.  Railroad,  almost  all  the  produce 
was  taken  to  Oquawka  there  to  be  shipped  to  St.  Louis  by  tlie  Mississippi 
River.  When  the  railroad  was  completed  trade  was  changed  to  Monmouth, 
and  a  local  trade  was  started  in  Roseville. 

New  Lancaster  and  Elliston,  a  few  miles  west,  were  enjoying  quite  a 
local  trade,  which  continued  until  1870.  During  the  summer  of  this  year, 
the  Rockford,  Rock  Island  &  St.  Louis  Railroad  was  completed  through  the 
county.  This  was  the  beginning  of  the  prosperity  of  Roseville.  It  was 
now  properly  platted  and  the  plat  recorded  by  John  A.  Gordon,  in  the 
name  of  Mr.  Eidridge  and  others  of  the  most  active  residents,  and  an  active 
trade  at  once  opened. 

The  stores  and  shops  at  J^ew  Lancaster  were  moved  here,  and  the  town 
from  being  a  "  corners,"  as  it  was  commonly  called,  rapidly  arose  to  a 
"town,"  with  its  attendant  privileges.  Mr.  John  A.  Gordon  opened  the 
depot  and  held  the  position  several  years. 

Mr.  Eidridge  gave  several  lots  to  those  who  would  erect  shops  or  stores 
thereon,  not  a  few  of  which  liberal  ofiers  were  accepted. 

On  May  8,  1871,  the  town  had  attained  a  population  of  511  inhabitants, 
and  was  incorporated.  Since  then  the  population  has  increased  to  nearly 
900.  In  1856,  Mr.  James  G.  Reed  located  at  the  school  house,  about  a  mile 
east  of  the  village.  Here  he  commenced  work  as  a  blacksmith.  Shortly 
after,  he  removed  his  shop  to  Roseville,  where  he  added  to  his  small  shop  a 
room  about  sixteen  by  twenty-four  feet. 

He  soon  purchased  an  engine  to  aid  him  in  his  rapidly  growing  trade, 
and  increased  the  number  of  his  employes.  About  a  year  ago  the  present 
firm  was  organized,  and  a  still  further  increase  in  the  buildings  and  machin- 
ery made.  Their  speciality  is  windmills,  plows  and  tongueless  cultivators. 
Quite  a  number  of  shops  are  maintained,  good  stores,  one  bank  and  an 
excellent  flouring  mill.

THE   SCHOOLS. 

The  earliest  attempts  to  educate  the  youth  of  this  community  was  made 
in  a  small  log  school  house,  about  one  mile  south  of  the  site  of  the  village. 
The  frame  school  house  east  of  town  was  next  built.  At  its  location  there 
was  a  shop  and  small  store,  and  the  residents  entertained  some  hopes  of 
securing  a  town  here.  School  was  maintained  here  until  a  few  years  ago, 
when  it  was  removed  to  town  and  the  present  edifice  constructed.  It  is  a 
two  story  building,  capable  of  accommodating  two  hundred  scholars;  156 
are  now  in  attendance.     Three  teachers  are  employed. 


THE   CHURCHES. 

The  Oongregationalist  Church  was  organized  November  15,  1851,  by 
President  Blanchard,  then  of  Galesburg.  and  consisted  of  eleven  members, 
whose  names  were  Stephen  and  Phoebe  DtWey,  "William  and  Mary  D^lley, 
David  and  Elizabeth  Tuttle,  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Axtell,  and  Miss  Eunice  Rob- 
inson. Four  years  after  the  organization  they  erected  the  present  church 
building,  at  an  expense  of  $3,000  dollars.  The  lumber  was  brought  from 
Oquawka.  Some  time  after,  they  erected  the  parsonage,  worth  $2,000.  Rev. 
Asa  Martin  commenced  his  labors  here,  at  a  salary  of  $120  per  year,  in 
1851,  and  remained  one  year.  He  was  succeeded  by  Rev.  J.  A.  Rodgers, 
the  first  installed  pastor,  who  remained  until  1858.  He  is  now  president  of 
Berean  College,  Kentucky.  Rev.  A.  R.  Mitchell  was  called  to  succeed  him, 
and  occupied  the  pulpit  until  1861.  He  was  followed  by  Rev,  Alfred  Morse, 
who  remained  three  years  and  was  succeeded  by  Rev.  Cyrus  H.  Eaton,  from 
1861:  to  1867.  Then  Rev.  Arthur  E.  Arnold  filled  the  pulpit  until  1868. 
From  that  date  until  the  early  part  of  1877  the  pulpit  was  occupied  by 
Rev.  J.  D.  Wykofi".  The  present  pastor,  Rev.  R.  A.  Wood,  has  just  lately 
been  installed. 

The  membership  is  now  100,  the  attendance  at  Sunday-school  75. 

The  Baptist  Church  was  organized  in  1852  by  Rev.  S.  G.  Miner.  It 
now  numbers  175  members  and  100  Sunday-school  scholars.  The  organ- 
ization was  perfected  in  a  school  house,  about  one  mile  east  of  the  present 
site  of  the  town,  with  about  25  members.  When  the  school  house  was 
erected  in  town,  they  used  it  for  divine  worship  until  they  erected  their 
present  church.     It  cost  about  $2,000  dollars. 

The  following  have  been  some  of  the  pastors  of  this  charch :  Elders 
Joseph  Elliott, Morse  and  J.  D.  Kent.     The  present  pastor  is  E.  C. 

Cady. 

The  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  is  the  outgrowth  of  a  class  of  some 
half  dozen  members  organized  in  1839,  who  were  Solomon  Sovereign  and 
wife,  John  Jared,  Sr.  and  wife,  Mrs.  Sisson,  Mrs.  Welty,  Mrs.  Kirk})atriek. 
Thev  held  their  first  meetings  in  Jared's  school  house,  about  three  miles 
southeast  of  Roseville.  In  the  fall  of  18-1:1,  and  until  the  spring  of  1842, 
the  meetings  were  held  in  Josiah  Kirkpatrick's  house,  about  two  and  a  half 
miles  south  of  Roseville.  They  were  then  held  at  Solomon  Sovereign's 
house,  now  used  for  a  hotel  by  Eli  Gilbert,  opposite  the  depot.  The  nieet- 
in(>-s  were  held  in  tliis  h(»use  until  the  first  school  house  was  built.  This 
served  as  a  sanctuaiy  until  the  present  church  and  parsonage  were  built  in 
1867,  at  a  cost  of  $5,500.  This  class,  in  its  infancy,  formed  one  of  the  ap- 
pointments  on  the  Aquawka  circuit,  which  included  all  of  what  is   now

membership  one  hundred  and  seventy-seven,  with  a  Sabbath  school  of  one 
hundred  scholars. 

The  Christian  Church  was  organized  in  1859,  or  1860,  with  about 
25  members.  There  are  now  more  than  double  that  number,  and  a  Sunday- 
school  of  nearly  50  scholars.  In  1871  they  erected  a  comfortable  church, 
costing  about  $1,500.  Their  parsonage  is  worth  about  $800.  The  Rev. 
George  L.  Brackan  is  the  present  pastor. 

The  Lutheran  Churcli,  composed  mostly  of  Swedes,  comprises  a  mem- 
bership of  35.  They  were  organized  into  a  body  ecclesiastic  February  26, 
1876,  with  26  members,  and  on  October  29,  following,  dedicated  their 
present  house  of  worship.  Rev.  G.  Wiberg  occupies  the  pul])it,  minister- 
ing part  of  his  time  irt  other  places.  The  Sunday-school  numbers  about 
25  scholars. 

The  Union  Baptist  Church  was  organized  in  1841  or  '5  in  an  old 
school  house.  It  was  used  for  some  time  for  both  purposes,  and  in  it  the 
first  township  meetings  were  held. 

The  members  had  belonged  to  the  Berwick  Church  and  ortjanized 
here,  this  being  a  more  central  location. 

They  have  now  a  very  comfortable  church  and  sustain  a  regular  meeting. 
Talbott's  Creek  Christian  Church  was  organized  about  1838-9,  and  for 
some  time  included  the  Cameron  and  Alexis  members. 

Joseph  Murphy  and  L.  S.  Wallace  were  among  the  first  elders.  John 
E.  Murphy,  Thos.  Wallace,  Wm.  Wallace,  Wm.  Murphy  and  AYm.  Hop- 
per, with  their  families,  were  among  the  constituent  members.  John  E. 
Murphy  was  the  pioneer  preacher  among  them.  Thos.  Griffith  and  Henry 
Bruner,  father  of  the  present  pastor  of  Monmouth  Churcli,  were  also 
early  members.  Their  present  church  was  erected  near  David  Warren,  an 
old  member,  and  one  who  helped  the  church  in  its  early  trials.  They  occu- 
pied this  building  until  1855  or  '6,  when  a  house  of  worship  was  erected  at 
an  expense  of  $2,000,  which  they  still  occupy.  They  have  a  meml^ership 
of  about  one  hundred,  and  sustain  a  Sunday  school  of  about  the  same  num- 
ber. Rev.  D.  D.  Miller,  pastor  at  Cameron,  preaches  here.  This  congre- 
gation has  sent  out  several  colonies,  which  are  now  large  and  growing 
churches. 

TuE  Press. — Two  weekly  papers  are  sustained  here.  Wilson's  Weekly, 
the  vounger,  was  started  about  eijjht  months  since  bv  the  Wilson  brothers, 
two  quite  young  men,  and  is  already  enjoying  a  good  circulation.  It  is  a 
good  local  paper,  and  a  very  creditable  enterprise.

KIRKAVOOD 

Is  pleasantly  located  on  the  C,  B.  &  Q.  R.  R.  twenty-one  miles  east 
from  Burlington,  la.  In  the  year  1836  five  families  had  located  in  this 
township,  as  follows  :  Samuel  Hanna,  Z.  M.  Davis,  James  Gibson,  R. 
Tinkham,  Benjamin  Tompkins,  after  whom  the  township  was  named.  Prior 
to  the  building  of  the  railroad  through  this  county,  settlement  was  slowly 
made  in  this  region,  but  on  the  completion  of  the  road,  in  1855,  new  life 
was  infused  and  business  sprang  up  as  if  by  magic.  In  the  year  1851  Da- 
vid Irvine  laid  out  the  original  villao-e  of  Kirkwood  to  which  two  additions 
have  been  made,  called  Quinby's  additions. 

For  many  years  a  brisk  trade  has  been  carried  on  here,  especially  in 
grain,  which  has  hardly  been  surpassed  by  any  town  on  any  railroad  lead- 
ing to  Chicago.  The  village  was  incorporated  in  1805,  and  the  following 
were  the  first  Trustees  :  O.  Lanphere,  J.  L.  Batcheler,  J.  Iv.  Cummings, 
A.  Carmichael  and  J.  B.  Sofield.  The  present  board  is,  T.  F.  Lowther, 
Geo.  Kellogg,  A.  C.  Yan  Riper,  L.  Rapalee,  Wm.  McCoy,  W.  K.  and  .1.  H.

CHURCHES. 

The  Presbyterian  Church  of  Kirkwood  was  organized  in  1856,  and 
was  first  called  South  Henderson  Church.  Meetings  were  first  held  in  a 
school  house  about  two  miles  southwest  of  town.  A  committee  had  been 
appointed  by  Schuyler  Presbytery  to  assist  in  the  formation  of  the  church. 
This  committee  was  Rev.  J.  H.  Kevins,  P.  C.  Matthews,  D.  D.,  and  Elders

Rev.  J.  Jrl.  Marshall  was  stated  supply  for  two  and  a  half  years.  The  pres- 
ent minister,  Rev.  E.  W.  Thompson,  is  the  only  installed  pastor  the  church 
has  ever  had.  He  l)egan  his  labors  here  in  1874.  The  first  house  of  wor-

south  part  of  town,  in  1858.  For  two  or  three  years  it  was  occupied  by 
the  M.  E.  congregation  on  alternate  Sabbaths.  This  was  afterwards  sold  to 
the  Roman  CathoHcs  and  moved  ofi"  the  lot.  In  186S  the  present  church

mill  site  on  Cedar  Creek.  Thev  remained  here  durinij;  the  winter  of  1830 
and  '31,  and  engaged  in  building  a  saw-mill,  the  first  in  the  county. 

They  returned  in  the  fall  to  Ohio,  and  in  xlpril,  1832,  they  set  sail  with 
their  families  and  some  others  on  a  rafr  down  the  Ohio  river.  They  start- 
ed from  AVarren  county,  Pa.,  and  were  four  weeks  on  the  raft  in  reaching 
Cincinnati.  Here,  after  much  delay,  they  took  passage  on  a  steamboat  for 
St.  Louis,  and  on  arriving  there  found  the  same  boat  was  going  to  Beards- 
town,  and  so  continued  their  journey  lo  this  point.  From  this  latter  place 
they  went  by  ox  teams  to  Canton,  and  then  to  their  new  homes  on  Cedar 
Creek.  They  added  another  block  house  near  the  first  and  built  a  stockade  for 
fort.  The  nearest  mill  or  postoffice  was  about  seventy  miles  distant.  Soon, 
however,  the  postoffice  was  established  at  this  point  and  was  first  called 
Cedar  Creek  Postoffice,  and  in  1851  the  name  was  changed  to  Denny  at 
Waslmigton.  In  the  spring  of  1832  IJockwell  and  Bufi'un  rented  their 
saw-mill  to  Chester  Potter,  who  was  also  from  Ashtabula  county,  Ohio.  He 
added  a  small  pair  of  burrs  for  grinding  wheat  and  corn.  These  mill- 
stones were  only  twelve  and  a  half  inches  in  diameter,  but  did  the  grinding 
for  a  large  scope  of  country.  Tney  were  made  by  Potter  from  a  Granite 
Boulder  or  "  Nigger-head"  found  on  the  prairie  in  this  county.  Potter, 
however,  continued  here  only  one  year,  when  he  moved  to  Kelly  Tp.  and 
set  up  a  mill  for  himself  on  Henderson  Creek.  Buifun  sold  out  his  inter- 
est to  Rockwell  September  21st,  1832,  and  went  to  Fulton  county,  after- 
wards to  Rock  Island.  On  the  8th  of  August,  1835,  L.  P.  Rockwell  and  D. 
G.  Baldwin  entered  into  agreement  to  build  a  large  flouring  mill,  which  re- 
sulted in  the  erection  of  the  present  Rockwell  Mills.  The  first  P.  M.  here 
was  J.  Buff'un,  one  year  ;  then  L.  P.  Rockwell  for  about  twenty  years.  He 
died  in  1860.  The  first  school  was  in  1831 — teacher.  Miss  Betsy  Hopper. 
There  is  not  a  more  pleasant  location  in  thi:;  county  than  Denny. 


LITTLE  YORK. 

This  vicinity  was  first  settled  in  1829,  and  was  among  the  earliest  in 
this  county. 

Among  those  who  first  came  here  were  :  Matthew  D.  Ritchie,  Otho 
W.  Craig,  William  McCoy,  Hugh  Martin,  Sr.,  and  others.  Much  fear 
and  some  trouble  was  experienced  from  the  Indians  by  the  early  settlers. 
A  roving  band  of  those  desperadoes  were  skulking  along  the  timber  on  Cedar 
Creek,  on  the  9th  day  of  August,  1832,  when  five  of  their  number  rushed 
out,  shot  and  scalped  "VVilliam  Martin,  who  was  at  work  alone  putting  up 
hay.  A  block  house  had  been  built  as  a  kind  of  fort,  where  persons  and 
families  resorted  in  time  of  supposed  danger.  Several  women  and  children 
were  at  the  fort  at  this  time,  and  heard  the  shots,  saw  Martin  fall,  and  the 
Indians  run  to  him,  shoot  again,  and  seal])  him.  The  news  spread  rapidly, 
and  caused  great  alarm  among  the  inhabitants.     Martin  had    been   at   the 


fort  but  a  short  time  previous,  was  cautioned  by  the  women  about  working 
alone,  though  it  was  not  known  that  any  Indians  were  in  the  vicinity.  He 
returned  to  his  work  singing  a  favorite  tune. 

The  block  house  stood  a  few  rods  east  from  where  now  stands  the  pleasant 
residence  of  Hugh  Martin,  brother  of  AVilliam,  and  he  was  killed  about 
eighty  miles  north.     His  body  was  not  recovered  until  the   next  morning,

aud  when  examined,  it  was  found  that  the  last  shot  was  made  so  near  as  to 
burn  his  clothing. 

A  company  of  Rangers  followed  the  trail  of  the  Indians  as  far  as  Kew 
Boston,  where  tliey  were  just  in  time  to  see  them  in  their  canoes,  nearly 
across  the  Mississipi)i  river.  They  fired  upon  them,  but  did  not  avail  to 
stop  then-. 

An  account  of  the  trial  of  these  murderers  is  given  in  another  part  of 
this  work. 

The  village  of  Little  Rock  was  laid  out  in  1835  by  William  McCoy  and 
M.  D.  Ritchie.  James  Kendall  opened  the  first  store  in  this  vicinity,  at 
the  block  house  in  1833,  and  after  his  death,  in  the  next  year,  his  widow 
moved  the  goods  to  a  building  on  the  site  of  the  village,  and  continued  in 
the  trade.  This  she  sold  to  Arthur  McFarland,  who  soon  sold  to  J.  F.  Pol- 
lock, and  he  had  a  prosperous  trade  there  for  many  years.  He  was  the 
first  P.  M.  for  nearly  twenty  years.  The  first  school  was  in  1837,  taeght  by 
Peter  Turpening.  At  the  present  time  there  is  a  good  school  house  and  a 
good  bell,  with  pleasant  grounds  ornamented  with  trees. 

The  principal  merchants  are  Messrs.  Wallace  &  Morrison,  general 
merchandise.  There  are  two  harness  shops,  three  blacksmith  shops,  one 
wagon  shop,  and  a  boot  and  shoe  shop. 

This  village  is  located  in  a  thriving  and  industrious  farming  commun- 
ity, and  is  in  Sumner  Township,  twelve  miles  northwest  from    Monmouth. 

The  U".  P.  Church  of  Little  York  was  organized  April  19th,  1863,  by 
Rev.  John  Scott,  D.  D.,  of  the  Presbytery  of  Monmouth.  At  the  formation 
of  this  church  there  were  forty-one  members  from  the  U.  P.  churches  of 
Cedar  Creek  and  Henderson.  The  first  pastor  was  Rev.  Wm.  H.  McMillan. 
ordained  and  installed  Oct.  1,  1864,  who  continued  his  labors  for  six  years. 
The  next  pastor  was  Rev.  W.  T.  Campbell,  ordained  and  installed  June  13, 
1871,  and  continued  four  years.  The  present  pastor  is  Rev.  David  Ander- 
son, who  began  his  work  here  in  October,  1875.  This  congregation  own  a 
pleasant  and  commodious  house  of  worship,  which  cost  $1,000,  and  a  con- 
venient parsonage,  recently  built  at  a  cost  of  $2,000.  Tlie  present  number 
of  members  is  130. 

ALEXIS 

This  village,  though  bearing  the  same  name  as  the  royal  prince,  is  not  a 
Russian  Town.  It  was  first  called  Alexandria  and  recently  abbreviated  to 
its  present  name  for  convenience.  It  is  situated  twelve  miles  north  and 
east  from  Monmouth,  and  was  laid  out  in  Nov.,  is 70,  by  Robert  Holloway 
and  J.  E.  Alexander  upon  land  owned  by  them.  The  first  Iiousb  was  moved 
to  the  Town  site  Nov.  20,  1870,  and  upon  the  first  train  North  on  the  Rock- 
ford,  Rock  Island  and  St.  Louis  R.  R.,  J.  E.  Alexander  moved  his  goods, 
and  established  the  station.  He  has  held  the  office  of  Station  and  Express 
Agent  since  the  opening  of  the  Raih-oad.  The  books  of  the  Co.  show  that 
from  this  point  there  has  been  shipped  5(t0  cars  of  stock  in  a  year,  and,  soine- 
times  140  cars  of  grain  per  month.  The  growth  of  the  town  has  been  rapid, 
and  although  a  swee])ing  fire  in  Jan.,  1S77,  destroyed  nine  business  houses, 
new  buildings  are  rising  to  take  their  place,  showing  the  confidence  there  is 
in  the  stability  of  the  town. 

There  are  four  general  stores,  five  groceries,  two  drug  stores,  two  hard- 
ware and  agricultural  implements,  one  book  and  stationery  store,  two  black-

smith  shops,  one  flouring  mill,  one  macliine  shop,  two  himber  yards  and  two 
hotels. 

A  fine  two  story  school  house  was  built  in  1874,  cost  $2,600,  and  the 
schools  are  well  graded,  Superintendent,  C.  Galloway.  The  number  of 
children  by  examination  of  Sept.,  1876,  was  384. 

The  first  village  Trustees  came  intooflice  July  2s,  ls73,  and  their  names 
are  as  follows:  John  C.  Blaney,  Prest.;  A  G.  Talbot,  ().  E.  Bugbee,  O.  G. 
Chapman,  James  Loveridge,  Daniel  Churchill;  John  Douglas,  Clerk,  Chas,

Churchill,  Hiram  Ingersoll,  James  H.Shaw,  Robert  Knox,  W.  W.  (xraham; 
Thos.  B.  Patterson,  Clerk;  Chas.  E.  Johnson  Treas.,  and  W.  H.  Brown 
Police  Magistrate.     The  total  population  is  about  7U0. 

PRESS. 

Mr.  James  Everett  started  the  Alexis  Journal -aX  this  ])lace  in  1874. 
He  had  originally  intended  to  make  it  an  eiglit  column,  four  page  paper  : 
but  from  some  cause  cut  it  down  to  seven  columns,  four  pages,  in  which 
form  the  first  number  ap])eared,  on  February  13.  1874.  and  was  continued 
imtil  the  close  of  volume  three,  in  1S77.  Mr.  Everett  retired  from  its  man- 
agement in  August.  1876,  having  sold  the  office  to  Dr.  Chaffee.  At  the 
close  of  V(»lume  three,  the  prospect  of  its  future  seemed  very  gloomy,  and 
it  was  decided  to  discontinue  its  ])ublieation.  A  few  weeks  later,  having 
received  sufficient  encouragement,  the  Dr.  concluded  to  resume,  but  decided 
to  make  a  change  in  the  name  and  style  of  the  paper;  accordingly  the  name 
was  changed  to  The  Alexis  Index,  and  the  size  of  the  sheet  enlarged  to  a 
five  column,  eight  pages,  a  change  which  the  ])roi)rietor  feels  assured  was 
fully  warranted,  and  is  duly  a])preciated  by  the  peo])le.  Its  circulation  and 
influence  is  steadily  increasing,  although  its  local  advertising  patronage  has 
been  materially  cut  down  by  the  recent  fire,  and  stringency  of  the  times; 
still,  the  office  is  doing  a  fair  business,  remunerative  toitsownei',  and  much 
of  its  loss  of  local  advertising  is  compensated  for  by  its  Monmouth  patron- 
age.

The  United  Presbyterian  church  was  organized  A])ril  4,  1871,  by  Pev.

ground. 

The  Cliurch  of  God  is  located  in  southeast  quarter  of  Sec.  10,  Spring 
Grove  townsliip.  It  was  organized  in  1865  by  lie  v.  Rudolph  White,  and

Shiria.  Membership  about  twenty-five  and  Sabbath  school  the  same  ;  John 
Simcox,  Superintendent. 

LENOX 

Was  laid  out  by  C.  C.  Dixon  in  1872,  who  owned  the  farm  on  which  the 
village  is  platted.  He  had  settled  here  in  1831:,  at  a  time  when  there  was 
but  one  house  between  his  and  Monmouth,  then  containing  but  four  or  five 
houses. 

No  village  was  thought  of  until  the  Rockford,  Rock  Island  and  St.  Louis 
railroad  was  contemplated.  The  company  guaranteed  the  location  of  a 
depot  to  some  ten  or  twelve  residents  who  were  active  in  securing  the  right 
of  way  through  the  township.  Foremost  among  them  was  C.  C.  Dixon  and 
J.  W.  Bridenthal.  These  located  the  station  on  t!ie  present  site  and  Mr. 
Dixon  at  once  took  steps  to  lay  out  the  town.  The  village  plat  and  farm 
were  afterwards  purchased  by  Mr.  Bridenthal,  the  present  owner.  Mr.  T. 
H.  Norwood  opened  the  first  store  and  the  post  ofiice  in  the  dwelling 
of  Henry  Redout,  Shortly  after  John  Ilodgen  and  John  Young  erected  the 
present  store  room  occupied  by  Mr.  Young  and  Graham.  One  or  two  ad- 
ditional stores  have  been  opened  and  a  good  carriage  and  wagon  shop  is  now 
in  operation. 

A  large  quantity  of  grain  is  shipped  from  this  point.  For  the  year  1876 
331  car  loads  of  grain  were  shipped.  In  addition  to  this,  70  car  loads  of 
live  stock  were  sent  to  market. 

The  town  and  post  office  were  given  the  name  of  Lenox.  As  there  was 
a  Station  North  of  Monmouth  by  that  name.  Until  it  vras  discontinued, 
the  village  and  office  was  called  Lenox  Station. 

SCHOOLS. 

One  of  the  oldest  district  schools  in  the  township  is  located  here.  As 
soon  as  the  school  population  ot  the  community  warranted  the  erection  of 
a  house,  a  small  structure  was  built.  This  was  used  with  an  occasional  en- 
largement and  repair,  until  1876,  when  the  present  structure,  one  of  the 
best  in  the  township,  was  erected. 

The  attendance  is  now  about  forty  scholars,  which  require  the  services 
of  one  teacher. 

CHURCHES. 

For  several  years  past  a  Presbyterian  church  was  maintained.  About 
twelve  years  since  through  the  effort  of  Mr.  Dixon,  who  donated  a  lot,  a 
comfortable  house  of  worship  was  erected,  and  atone  time  quite  a  congrega- 
tion had  grown  up,  and  regular  preaching  was  sustained.    Owing  to  re. 


172  HISTORY    OF   WAEKEN    COUNTY. 

movals  and  other  causes  has  so  diminished  the  church  that  the  organization 
was  disbanded,  the  remaining  members  going  to  Monmouth  or  to  other 
churches.  The  Methodists  now  occupy  the  church  but  as  yet  have  no  or- 
ganization. 

GEKLAW. 

This  village  has  a  pleasant  location.  It  was  laid  out  as  a  town  site  May 
2,  1871,  on  land  owned  by  R.  AV.  Gerlaw,  after  whom  it  bears  its  name.  It 
is  situated  in  the  N.  W.  quarter  of  Section  34.  Spring  Grove  township,  and  is 
on  the  Kockford,  E.ock  Island  R.  R.  six  miles  north  from  Monmouth. 

A.  A.  Elder  opened  the  first  store  in  Sept.,  1871.  James  Webster  some- 
time after,  built  a  large  store,  with  a  fine  hall  in  second  story.  A  brisk  trade 
has  been  carried  on  here,  considering  its  nearness  to  the  county  seat.  The 
books  of  the  R.  R.  Co.  show  that  the  shipment  of  stock  has  reached  more 
than  200  cars  in  a  single  year.  Yery  little  grain  is  shipped  from  this  point, 
as  all  is  needed  by  feeders  of  stock. 

The  Christian  church  was  organized  in  1858,  by  Rev.  L.  S.  Wallace, 
and  a  house  of  worship  was  built  about  about  two  miles  north  east  from  the 
town  at  a  cost  of  $950.  This  building  was  moved  to  the  town  site  in  187-1, 
and  was  thoroughly  repaired.  Among  the  first  members  were  J.  T.  Gilmore 
and  wife,  R;  W.  Lair  and  wife,  B.  F.  Gardner  and  wife  and  others.  The 
present  membership  is  about  forty.     No  pastor. 


CAMERON 

Was  laid  out  by  Robert  Cameron,  Feb.  22,  1854,  and  was  for  some  time 
known  as  Cameronville.  His  plat  included  the  south  west  part  of  the  town 
lying  south  of  the  railroad.  Charles  AYaste  laid  out  a  portion  directly  east 
of  this,  and  north  and  west  of  this,  across  the  railroad  in  CoLibrook  town- 
ship.    Quinby's  addition  was  soon  after  made. 

A.  B.  Hawkins  was  the  first  merchant  in  town.  His  store  stood  directly 
east  of  Isaac  Wilson's  shop  in  a  now  vacant  lot. 

Owen  C.  Waste  and  Smith  &  Skinner  of  Galesburg  opened  stores 
soon  after,  and  for  some  time  a  fine  trade  was  engaged.  Mr.  Hawkins  had 
previously  kept  a  store  in  Coldbrook,  but  as  soon  as  the  C.  B.  &  Q.  R.  R. 
was  completed  and  Cameron  platted  he  removed  his  store  and  goods  to  that 
place.  Nearly  all  the  business  of  Cold  Brook  was  brought  to  Cameron  at 
this  and  latter  dates. 

The  town  has  always  been  small,  but  a  good  trade  is  steadily  maintained. 
A  good  number  of  stores  and  shops  are  now  in  successful  operation,  and 
enjoying  a  good  patronage. 

SCHOOLS. 

The  first  district  school  house  was  built  south  of  the  railroad,  and  was 
the  first  house  erected  on  the  village  plat.  There  being  two  districts,  (the 
railroad  being  the  dividing  line  between  the  township  of  Cold  Brook  and 
Floyd,)  in  1871,  these  were  consolidated  into  one,  and  the  present  two  story 
building  erected. 

It  will  accommodate  100  pupils,  the  attendance  being  now  eighty-five.

CHRISTIAN    CHURCH. 

This  is  the  oldest  congregation  of  this  denomination.  It  was  organized 
in  1831.  Tlieir  earliest  meetings  were  held  in  private  houses  and  in  the 
school  house.     At  this  time  they  were  at  Cold  Brook. 

Some  of  their  Elders  were  John  G.  Ilalev,  Elijah  Davidson  and  Wm. 
Whitman.  Levi  Ilatchett,  John  E,  Murphy  and  L.  8.  Wallace  were  some  of 
the  earliest  ministers. 

A  house  of  worship  was  built  in  Cold  Brook  in  1839.  The  congregation 
continued  to  meet  here  until  1854  or  '5  when  they  removed  to  Cameron  and 
there  erected  their  present  church,  costing  about  $3,000.  A  portion  of  the 
congregation  went  near  the  present  town  of  Alexis,  where  they  have  now  a 
stronoj  church.  About  1851  or  '2  Elder  R.  R.  Halev  and  Deacon  John  E. 
Murphey,  with  some  thirty  members  went  to  Monmouth,  Oregon,  where 
thev  formed  the  nucleus  of  a  hiro;e  and  flourishine:  cono^reo^ation.  Josiah 
Whitman,  S.  T.  Sheton  and  Henry  E.  Haley  were  chosen  to  fill  the  offices 
made  vacant  by  those  removing  to  Oregon. 

The  Cameron  congregation  have  now  aboat  125  members  and  sustain  a 
Sunday  school  of  70  scholars.     Rev.  D.  D.  Miller  is  the  present  pastor. 

THE    M.    E.    CIIUKCH. 

In  the  fall  of  1856,  ministers  of  this  denomination  commenced  services 
in  the  school  house,  and  soon  thereafter  organized  the  church. 

Some  twelve  or  fifteen  persons  united.  Among  them  were  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Watt,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Porterfield,  Frank  Moi-ey,  Benj.  Tinkham,  Mrs.  Fox, 
Mrs.  Gay  and  Mary  Gay.     Rev.  Fisher  presided  at  the  organization. 

In  1857,  they  erected  their  present  church  edifice,  which  is  now  in- 
adequate to  the  wants  of  the  congregation  and  will  soon  be  replaced  b}^  a 
a  commodious  house. 

The  growth  of  the  congregation  has  been  slow,  and  at  no  time  has  the 
membership  been  large.     The  number  now  is  about  forty. 

The  First  Baptist  Church  at  this  place  was  organized  June  30th,  1866, 
and  its  first  meetinsrs  were  held  in  the  district  school  house  with  an  orio-i- 
nal  membership  of  nine  persons,  which  has  increased  to  sixty-five,  and  a 
Sunday  school  of  &ixtj. 

The  present  church  was  built  in  1869  at  a  cost  of  $3,200.  The  pastors 
have  been  the  Revs.  Wm.  AVhitehead,  Jno.  Bolton,  W.  R.  Welch,  E.  L. 
Corfield  and  J.  R.  Pennington.     Their  present  pastor  is  Rev  G.  D.  Kent. 

SWAK  CREEK. 

The  settlement  in  this  localit}^  dates  back  to  about  1837.  A  post-office 
has  been  maintained  here  since  that  date. 

As  soon  as  the  railroad  was  completed,  steps  were  taken  to  establish  a 
depot  here,  but  although  the  company  would  stop  their  trains,  they  would 
not  build  a  switch  or  erect  the  necessary  buildings  until  the  residents  had 
raised  $1,000.  This  was  secured  mainly  through  the  efforts  r>f  Mr.  George 
Worden,  one  of  the  earliest  residents  and  who  had  keej)  a  store  since  Decem- 
ber, 1856,  in  a  building  opposite  his  dwelling.  It  is  now  used  as  a  dwelling 
and  harness  shop.     Mr.  Worden  laid  out  the  town  April  15,  1871,  and  soon 


176  HISTORY    OF   WAKREN   COUNTY. 

after  Eev.  W.  C.  Romine  opened  a  store.  He  is  now  in  Eoseville.  B. 
Ra^in  and  Aaron  Burr,  opened  stores  about  this  time  and  have  steadily  up- 
held their  trade.  There  are  now  three  or  four  good  stores,  the  same  number 
of  shops,  a  good  mill  and  elevator. 

A  large  amount  of  shipping  is  done  from  this  point.  Before  the  com- 
pletion of  the  railroad  in  ISTO,  this  was  taken  to  Oquawka  and  to  Prairie 
City, where  nearly  all  trading  at  this  time  was  done. 

Kow  the  produce  is  shipped  to  Chicago  and  St.  Louis. 

SCHOOLS. 

A  good  school  has  always  been  held  here.  In  1876,  a  large  comfortable 
house  was  erected,  which  is  a  credit  to  the  town.  About  lifty  scholars  are 
daily  in  attendance. 

CHURCHES. 

Tlie  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  was  organized  in  1872  and  '3.  The 
earliest  meetina;s  were  held  in  the  school  house,  a  little  north  of  the  vil- 
lage. Those  "\Adio  took  part  in  these  meetings  were  Austin  A.  Cornell,  An- 
drew J.  Sisson,  Nancy  J.  Sisson,  Rufus  K.  Sisson,  Mary  E.  Sisson,  Bur- 
well  Booth,  Anna  M.  Phillips.  These  had  been  members  of  the  M.  E. 
Church  at  Pleasant  Mound,  six  miles  southeast  of  Swan  Creek,  except  Bur- 
well  Booth  who  had  been  a  member  of  the  M.  E.  Church  at  Point  Pleas- 
ant. In  1873  a  church  was  built  at  a  cost  of  $2,000.  Rev.  C.  B.  Conch 
served  from  1872  till  September,  1871.  He  was  followed  by  Rev.  J.  "W. 
Coe,  who  served  till  September,  1876.  Their  present  pastor.  Rev.  K.  T. 
Allen,  was  appointed  September,  1876.  Twenty-six  members  have  been 
added  to  the  church  the  past  winter,  the  result  of  a  revival  under  the  leader- 
ship of  the  present  pastor  and  the  earnest  efforts  of  the  members.  There 
are  now  sixtv-one  members  and  a  thriving  Sabbath  school  of  eightv  schol- 
ars. 

YOUNGSTOWN 

Was  laid  out  by  the  Kidder  family  and  others  in  the  spring  of  1872. 

The  first  store  was  opened  by  H.  V.  Simmons  in  a  building  erected  by 
C.  AY.  Mapes.  The  building  is  now  occupied  by  Wm.  Miner.  One  or  two 
other  stores  have  since  been  erected.     One  or  two  shops  are  now  in  operation. 

The  town  plat  was,  until  1872,  the  farm  of  the  Kidder  family,  and  when 
the  plat  was  surveyed  and  a  station  established,  before  one  was  allowed  at 
Swan  Creek,  as  the  railroad  company  objected  to  two  depots  so  closely  to- 
gether. This  latter  objection  was,  however,  overruled  by  the  energy  of  the 
citizens  along  the  hue. 

Youngstown  supports  a  good  local  trade,  and  is  the  shipping  point  for 
all  farm  produce  from  this  locality. 

SCHOOLS. 

Schools  has  been  held  in  the  district  school  house  many  years.  An  effort 
is  now  being  made  to  add  an  additional  room  and  grade  the  school.  This 
will  promptly  be  carried  out  in  a  year  or  so,

The  companies  from  Forts  Henry  and  Heirnan  subsequently  rejoined  the  regiment,  and  it  remained  at  Fort 
Donelsjn  until  Sept.  20,  1863,  when  the  right  wing  moved  to  Clarksville.  The  regiment  had  heavy  guard  duty  to

from  1:30  p.  m.  until  8:30  p.  m.  when  the  enemy  were  compelled  to  retire  with  a  loss  of  eight  hundred  killed  and 
wounded.  The  loss  ot  the  Regiment  was  13  killed  and  51  wounded.  Colonel  Harding  was  promoted  to  Brigadier 
General  for  gallant  conduct  en  this  occasion  and  Lieutenant  Colonel  A.  A.  Smiih  to  Colonel.  While  at  Clarksville, 
the  Regiment  was  engaged  in  several  expeditions  under  Major  General  L.  H.  Ros-eau,_in  pursuit  of  Forrest  and 
Wheeler  who  were  attempting  the  destruction  of  General  Sherman's  lommunications. 

During  the  year  1864,  the  Regiment  had  some  two  hundred  miles  of  communications  to  guard,  and  mueh 
heavy  p.itrol  duty.     During  the  winter  of  1864-5  'he  Eighty  third  was  on  provost  duty  at  Nashville,  Tennessee.

citizen,  a  zealous  worker,  l)oth  in  Church 
and  State,  and  while  he  could  not  be  called 
an  office  seeker,  held  almost  continuously 
some  needful  but  unprofitable  office,  from 
1835  until  near  his  death,  which  occurred 
Mav  10,  1871;  he  served  two  terms  as 
Sheriff  of  the  Co.;  was  several  years 
Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors,

lived  in  Warren  Co.  from  the  time  he  came 
AVest  in  1833,  he  was  known  by  most  of 
the  citizens  of  the  Co.,  and  died  enjoying 
their  respect  as  fully  as  a  jjositive,  inde- 
pendent citizen  could  do.
